The General was very worried about his own health as he was suffering a lot. He desperately wanted Dr. Sadao beside him and trusted only him for his medical treatment. If Dr. Sadao was arrested, then there was no one else who could have operated upon him and saved his life. So, he did not order for the immediate arrest of Dr. Sadao. Question 10. Why did Dr. Sadao treat the American soldier even though it was an unpatriotic act on his part? Answer: Dr. Sadao was an expert surgeon. He was devoted to his work. When he saw the wounded soldier, his professional ethics compelled him to give the man medical treatment and save his life. Though he was a loyal and patriotic citizen, humanity, and compassion compelled Dr. Sadao to treat the American soldier.

During the period of Sungas, there was a revival of Brahminism.

It is undoubtedly true that Babar Au’s school took shape out of an individual’s responsibility towards society. Babar All lived in the Bhapta neighbourhood of Gangapur village in West Bengal’s Murshidabad. The village was known for its backwardness and people of direst poverty lived there. Consequently, though there were quite a good number of government schools in the village which offered free education to the children in the village, most of the parents being very poor could not afford to send their children to the government schools as they did not have enough money to buy books, school uniforms and other essential things. Instead of going to school, most of the boys in the village helped out their families by working as mechanics, day labourers, grass cutters, live stockholders, etc., and the girls worked as maidservants in the village.

However, Babar All, being the son of a jute seller, was financially better off than the others and hence went to school and got a formal education. Moreover, Babar Ali’s father Nasiruddin Sheikh, believed that education is man’s true religion and encouraged his son’s education. Babar Ah, who realized that he was one of the fortunate souls in the village, felt that he must do something for the other, less fortunate children in the village. He had a strong desire to bring about a transformation in the lives of the poor and the underprivileged children who were working as mechanics, day labourers, grass cutters, livestock herders, maidservants, etc. during the day instead of getting a formal education in a government school. Babar All wanted to change this. That is why he took the initiative of opening his very own school. 

Babar Ali’s school, ‘Anand Siksha Niketan’, grew out of a game in which Babar All used to act as a teacher. Since his friends had never seen the inside of a school, they enjoyed playing students. His students ended up learning arithmetic and enjoying it. This idea of a school became a reality in 2002. The school which started with eight students initially, had student strength of 800, after nine years. Babar All’s little afternoon venture is now a registered and recognized school of the West Bengal state government. Thus, Babar All’s school took shape out of an individual’s responsibility towards society.

John Keats says that pain and suffering are a part of life. These bring us sadness and despondence. But still, we can find hope. The hope and motivation come from nature and remove the pall of despondence from our spirits. The beautiful sights give us inspiration to continue the journey of life.

The seven ages of man that Jaques describes are the stages of life: from birth and childhood to adulthood, old age, and finally extreme old age. When a person is "sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything," they are close to death.

Sans means "without," so the statement means that at the end of life one is without teeth, without eyesight, and without the ability to taste. Jaques sums this up as without everything.

Jaques is being comically imprecise in this statement. He mixes the literal (old people being without teeth) with the figurative (old people being without eyes.) Their eyes have not literally fallen out like their teeth: he means that they are blind or see with difficulty. Also, while the elderly do become less taste sensitive, it would be more common to note their deafness. Finally, Jaques just gives up and uses the vague word "everything." He is describing how helpless the very old became in a time before medical interventions could help them to a better quality of life.

Shakespeare pokes fun at the lack of finesse Jaques has with words, but Jaques's words show that the Forest of Arden is no magical place. The same process of aging and death that happens throughout the world happens here as well.

Ours is an age of technology. Man is now truly the master of machines. One of the marvels of technological development is the invention of computer. Computers are beneficial in making information accurate and in solving complex problems. Though they are the invention of the human brain, their intelligence surpasses human intelligence. By feeding relevant information, just by pressing buttons, we can make the computer give us many pieces of useful information such as predicting natural disasters. Computers are useful even in areas like transport, office and industry. Computers can be considered a source of employment. However, as a single computer can do the work of many men, computers may create the problem of unemployment. This is the flip side of technological development.

Trees are necessary for the ecosystem and human survival. This is because they contribute to fulfilling our basic necessities like air, water, food, clothing and shelter. In fact, trees provide the much-needed oxygen, the elixir of life, as they absorb carbon dioxide and retain humidity. Not only do trees attract rain, but also prevent soil erosion. Besides providing food, they also are a source for many other useful items. But, it is rather unfortunate that merciless deforestation still persists. However, if this continues unchecked the world will soon be reduced to a desert.
