Question

Why do you think Omprakash Valmiki was being treated unequally by his teacher and his classmates? Imagine yourself as Omprakash Valmiki and write four lines about how you would feel if you were in the same situation as him.

Answer 1

Omprakash Valmiki was treated unequally because he belonged to a lower caste. In Indian society, caste discrimination has been a major issue, and people from lower castes have often been treated unfairly. His teacher and classmates did not treat him equally because of this caste-based prejudice.

If I were in Omprakash Valmiki's place, I would feel hurt and humiliated. I would wonder why I am treated unfairly when I am just like everyone else. I would feel angry that my caste decides how people treat me. I would feel sad and hope for a world where everyone is treated equally.
