An Elementary School Classroom In A Slum

Question
CBSEENEN12019773

Explain “For these children these windows, not this world, are world”.

Or

The poet says, “and yet for these children, these windows, not this map, their world”. Which world do these children belong to? Which world is inaccessible to them?

Solution

The civilized world is the world of the rich. They draw their own maps. The dirty slums and scramped holes find no place in them. The slum children are aloof to the Tyrolese valley which blooms with flowers, rivers and birds. Their lot is confined to the classroom windows. The world of the rich and civilized is inaccessible to them.
