Think about those underprivileged children. Do you think society has been unfair to them?

Correct Answer

Yes, society has been unfair to underprivileged children in many ways.

Every child has the right to education, yet many children either drop out of school or never get the opportunity to attend due to poverty, lack of awareness, or social circumstances.

These children face disadvantages from birth through no fault of their own—they may lack proper nutrition, safe living conditions, educational resources, and supportive environments.

The fact that some children were on the street without access to proper schooling while others study in well-equipped schools reflects inequality in society.

The children in Kamal Parmar's classes had no proper benches, no 'silence zone' classrooms, and had to study despite noise from passing vehicles—conditions that privileged children do not face.

Society should ensure equal opportunities for all children regardless of their economic background.

Explanation

The chapter on pages 10-11 describes how some children had dropped out of school while others had never been to school. These underprivileged children studied in poor conditions—no proper benches, no 'silence zone' classrooms, and noise from passing vehicles. Yet they paid full attention to the teachers. A teacher observed that 'the love and affection I got from them was unbelievable.' This highlights the unfair circumstances these children face and their eagerness to learn despite difficulties.
