Solution
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.
