Question 1.
\nWhy is Bholi\u2019s father worried about her?
\nAnswer:
\nBholi was not like other children. She fell off a cot as a child due to which her brain was slightly damaged. She learnt to speak very late and used to stammer. Her face and whole body was covered with pockmarks. Thus, her father was worried about her marriage prospects.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nFor what unusual reason is Bholi sent to school?
\nAnswer:
\nAs Ramlal was a government official and the Tehsildar had asked Ramlal to send his daughters to the new school in his village, Bholi was sent to school just to satisfy the Tehsildar. As Randal’s wife felt that sending girls to school affected their marriage prospects adversely, she did not want to send any of her daughters to school. However, Bholi, with her pock-marked face and dull brain would not be possible to get married anyway, so Bholi\u2019s parents decided to send her to school to satisfy the Tehsildar.<\/p>\n
