For what...I had seen this one but not picked it up. For what age group will you slot this, Vibha? I too remember having 'Kabuliwalah' in my school book, but I think I was in the 7th or 8th. I have tried Tagore with A, but I found myself struggling to explain to a 9 year old the concept of getting married at such a young age as Mini was, or that of a high caste (what's caste?!!) widow having to shave her head (in some other story that I do not now recollect). Although these things do not commonly happen now, I feel an older child will at least be able to understand and appreciate the concept. I would like to have your feedback on this, Vibha.:)sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654489216158421654noreply@blogger.com
