Question
It is 7 o’clock in the evening. Pratibha is hurrying home from her friend’s house. Her brothers Sandeep and Sanjay are busy playing round the corner with their friends. They are in no hurry to go home. Even if they are late, nobody will scold them. Pratibha thinks that this is not fair. Why should there be one rule for her and another for her brothers? But what can she do? |
Does this kind of thing happen in your house or in any of your friend’s house? What do you think about this?
Solution
This kind of thing does not happen either in my or my friends’ house. But this type of thing is discrimination between boys and girls. I also think this is not fair.
