In order to create the world and produce the human race, Brahma made a goddess out of himself. The Greek God is different. Pan, the noisy goat-footed god of the greeks, look after shepherds and woods, is a capable musician, and invented the instrument named for him, panpipes. He leads the nymphs in dances. He stirs up panic. He is worshiped in Arcadia and is associated with sexuality.
Q5. “ It is a sin to be rude to a book.”
“ It is a sin to shove a book aside with your foot.”
“ A sin to slam books down hard on the table.”
“A sin to toss one carelessly across a room.”
“ You must learn how to turn the pages gently without disturbing Saraswati.”
Q6. The poet complains about the British Colonization in this part. She focuses on importance of language and how British took their language, knowledge and identities. The oppressor’s tongue which means England tried to kill their language and souls. There is an angry tone in this part and the mood is hopeless and fearful. Bhatt describes the process of the colonization and effects about language and future. She explains how British invasion took their identities with a scythe. Finally, Bhatt mentions unborn grandchildren will love that strange language as their own language.
