It is of utmost importance to perform all our duties with uninterrupted dedication without cribbing over results. Always have faith in God and think positively. Moulding our thoughts in the right direction does miracles and can bring about the desired change in the way we think or act. Always remember that there is a supreme power who controls the whole universe. We should also have faith in all the religions and not behave like a fanatic.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nThe Coorgis are said to be descendants of Greek Arabs. They have settled here and there but they have never given up their values and culture. Today many Indians have settled abroad but they are still Indians by heart. They still believe in Indian culture and keeping it alive. Do you think that when we settle abroad we must change our culture to adopt the culture of the country where we, settle? Does it help us?
\nAnswer:
\nThere is no doubt one is known by one\u2019s culture. The Coorgis are the descendants of the Greeks or Arabs and scattered here and there but they have not lost their identity. They still have all the traditional values of their clan. The same is true in the case of Indians settled abroad. They are still Indians by heart. They still believe in Indian culture and keeping it alive.<\/p>\n

We should never forget our traditions and customs. We should not forget our roots. Our culture gives us recognition. We should never change our values or culture when we are abroad. If we do this, we lose our originality and identity. The Coorgis give us a lesson that we should be proud of our traditions and should never give them up. If we stick to our culture, we always get recognition. It helps us.<\/p>\n

Glimpses of India Part 3 Long Answer Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nRajvir felt too excited on reaching Assam while Pranjol showed least interest in his excitement. What could be the reason behind this? Do you think it is appropriate on PranjoPs part to react like this? Justify your answer with reason.
\nAnswer:
\nPranjol invited his friend Rajvir to spend some days with him in his hometown Assam. On reaching there, Rajvir was stunned to see the beauty of tea plantations. It was an entirely new experience for him while for Pranjol, these were a common sight so he showed least interest in Rajvir\u2019s excitement. I think it is not appropriate on Pranjol\u2019s part to react thus. No doubt his indifference was natural but it might dampen Rajvir\u2019s spirit. Sometimes we have to act according to the wishes of the person opposite us, especially when the person is very close to us. A true friend is one who understands the feelings of his friend and tries to make him happier. Although Pranjol and Rajvir were very close yet one should always try to strengthen the bond of friendship.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nPranjol invited Rajvir to his home in Assam during summer vacation. Express your views on the deep bond that they both shared. Do you also believe in the compatibility of two individuals? Why\/ Why not?
\nAnswer:
\nRajvir and Pranjol both were good friends to the extent that they spent time with each other at their homes too. This is apparent from the fact that Rajvir was going to spend his summer vacation with Pranjol in Assam. They both indeed shared a deep bond. Their likes and dislikes were almost similar.<\/p>\n

They both liked to read detective books. They enjoyed sipping hot steaming tea. True friendship is one in which a friend is always eager to listen to the other. The same is clearly seen when Pranjol listened to the legends associated with tea patiently as told by Rajvir. Compatibility and perseverance are the pillars that support true friendship. Yes, I also believe in the compatibility of two individuals for the relationship to sustain longer.<\/p>\n

\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nDoes the statement – \u2018Dwarfing the tiny tea plants were tall sturdy shade-trees….\u2019 remind you of an elder in the family who protects the younger ones with love and care? How should you behave with the elders of the family who do so much for you?
\nAnswer:
\nThe view outside the train was magnificent. The sentence \u2018Dwarfing the tiny tea plants were tall sturdy shade trees.\u2019 indicates to the nature\u2019s way of protecting its off springs. The tall sturdy shady trees provide shade to the tiny tea plants which may otherwise get withered away in the heat of the sun. In the same manner, elders of a family protect the younger ones and take a great care of them with love and compassion. Particularly in Indian society, family plays a protective role in nurturing the children and taking care of all their needs.<\/p>\n

It is the duty of the children also to listen to the elders and respect them. Nowadays family values are fast disappearing. Such a trend is very harmful to the society as well as the individual. Love, empathy, respect for each other, understanding, a sense of individual duties are the qualities that cement the relationships in a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
