Answer» Context : The author says that there are so many old customs in the society, but there is no existence of these customs now. This is only due to the change of time. Explanation : The author says that time is changing rapidly. The cruel customs of the Vedic period do not attract a man of modern age. Now Sati Pratha is not in existence. Now widows are not burnt with the dead bodies of their husband. There is no childhood marriage system, because this system is illegal now. In buses, trains and aeroplanes Brahman and Thakur travel with lowest castes. They do not feel ashamed. Now all castes are equal according to law. So the conclusion of author is that the Indian civilization will never perish. Hindu culture is not accepting distinction between persons. Now Indian society is free from untouchability system. There is no high or low caste in Indian society. The process of rejection of distinction between persons began before sometime, but now this process is in high speed. The author’s hope is that after present generation this useless and dangerous evil of caste system will vanish from the society. |
