Answer the following questions :<\/span><\/p>\n Question 1. Question 2. Question 3. The tree would feel happy with the touch of a sacred cow and it would get the opportunity of providing shelter for the hundred thousand Gods said to be residing in the cow. The tree can become pure when it is cut into dry- pieces and burnt in the holy fire and can help the sinless dead body by becoming a bier on the shoulders of four good men.<\/p>\n The poem describes the sense of equality present in nature. Sunlight and cool breeze treat everybody with love and spread their sweetness to all without discrimination. Unlike some humans who feel polluted getting in contact with the untouchables, nature has no such sense of sense of superiority.<\/p>\n All are equal in its eyes. The poem also presents the social discrimination, as the speaker is much humiliated by the social discrimination and wanted to become a tree to escape from discrimination in the society.<\/p>\n He feels the safety, purity and generosity and helping nature of a tree more than in human beings. In a society, man without thinking of helping others, thinks which is pure and which is polluted. He neglects and discriminates some and appreciates others in name of caste, creed and religion. So this practice is meaningless and the practice must be prohibited to sustain equality in society.<\/p>\n Karnataka 1st PUC English Textbook Answers Reflections Chapter 7 If I was a Tree I.
