Slide 2 - Diapositive

Chapter- 6
After listening to Anasuya Anjali started thinking, what is Khadi and what did Suman had to do with any of this? Anjali didn't want to be laughed at more so she ran to her home. 
Suman lived in Anjali's neighborhood only so when she was going home she saw Suman in a very beautiful ghagra-choli exiting her home with her parents. As Anjali entered her house main gate she saw her mother waiting for her. 

Slide 3 - Diapositive

Anjali asked "What's going on?" Her mother said "We're going to begin joining our countrymen in their fight by doing something special, and we want you to take part. She was very confused.  She entered their compound to see a pile of her mother's elegant sari's and Baba's shirts and pants lying on a cot on the porch.  She asked again "What is going on". She thought her parents were donating them to the untouchables like Mohan, as her father has given his old shirts to Mohan in the past too but never Ma's sari's and even those clothes did not look old too.

Slide 4 - Diapositive

 She also recognized her father's new kurta-pajama which he got for his birthday and liked it a lot. Even her mother was holding her gorgeous red wedding sari. Ma asked Anjali to get every-one of her ghagra-cholis which they bought from the city. Anjali totally confused ran to her room, she opened her wooden armoire, the musty scent of mothbolls filling the air, slid aside her other school uniform and a couple thin cotton ghagra-cholis she wore at home and slept in. She took out her exquisite dresses. She had the dresses of every colour.

Slide 5 - Diapositive

 Then she saw her beautiful saffron ghagra-choli she had worn the day before, her Diwali present. She didn't want Ma to donate all her clothes so she folded that saffron ghagra-choli and hid it under her mattress.  She ran to the yard where Ma was standing holding her sari's and Baba's clothes.
Her mother dropped the clothes on the ground and asked Anjali to do the same. She saw those expensive clothes on the floor and clutched her one's tightly. "How can we put our clothes on the ground where people chewing paan spat red saliva out on the road." Anjali asked while looking at Suman's gate for any sign of her. 

Slide 6 - Diapositive

Her mother explained her that these clothes were made with cotton of India but the British spun it in England and sold to us at very high rates, for making India- Free India we first need to only buy homespun clothes and get rid of these garments that enslave us. Anjali thought of Anasuya's simple clothes, she had started wearing them after her father joined the freedom movement. Anjali assumed that this was the reason for anasuya's poor life and simple clothes. Anjali's mother said that "I never thought I could leave my wedding sari's and sari's my mother gave me, but now I know I must.

Slide 7 - Diapositive

" Anjali's father said "Don't worry Anjali, you still have your school uniforms and home dresses." But he stopped when he saw the other clothes on the floor and asked to Ma about it. He asked "How will we give them to the poor now? "Anjali's mother replied that "If we give them to the poor there will be still people wearing them and walking around in foreign spun clothes. So the British will win. " Ma lit a match and dropped it into the clothes. Anjali stood frozen in shock as her mother's wedding sari went up in flames."What have you done? " asked baba trying to kick down the flames. 

Slide 8 - Diapositive

"I am sorry, but it was the only way. " said ma. After that she turned to Anjali "It's your turn, C'mon. " Anjali shooked her head but Ma encouraged her so she unwillingly threw her clothes too in the fire.
 Anjali ran away from her parents and headed straight towards her cow shed to Nandini. Anjali hugged Nandini and broke down. Tears filled Anjali's eyes and Nandini's eyes too, as it was told before they both had a connection. Being concerned the cow nuzzled Anjali, rubbing her chin on Anjali's face.

He smelled faintly like copper, the way boys always smelled to Anjali when they had been running under the hot sun, and had an armful of bananas. Irfaan’s mother had been died years ago due to smallpox which had also killed chachaji’s wife and son. The sounds of the muezzin’s loud voice echoed as he announced the Adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, from the nearby mosque.  I have to run said Irfaan.

Mohan swooped the metal container onto his head and raced off the property, dropping his broom in his hurry.Anjali's mother took the broom of Mohan and started cleaning with it.

As the time for the meeting neared, Anjali’s excitement grew and grew. When her mother went to Anjali’s uncle, he was busy in a game of solitaire. Anjali’s mother told him that he could eat dinner whenever he wished to and that she and Anjali were going out for some work. The uncle told them a story. A story that made him feel that standing up for someone facing discrimination always results in failure. 

Slide 32 - Diapositive

He told that in his childhood, he too loved cows as much as Anjali loved. In his neighborhood, there was a man who raised cows for milk. Whenever a male cow took birth he killed it. As a male calf could not give birth to other cows in the future, he thought they were useless, and killing them is much easier than rearing and feeding them for no reason.  Anjali’s uncle didn’t like this. So, when the next male calf took birth in the shed, he stole it. He worked hard for the calf and fed it with milk. But, the man found him.

Slide 33 - Diapositive

 He snatched the calf from him and killed it right in front of Anjali’s uncle. Anjali was so worried about the story that she hid behind her mother. Anjali’s mother asked the uncle why he was telling them that story. He replied that Anjali and her mother should listen to this as this happens when you try to stand against a wrong thing or a wrong act.  Later, after hearing the story, Anjali and her mother went off for the meeting on a rickshaw. On the way, Anjali and her mother both shouted ‘QUIT INDIA’.

Before the start of the speech, Anjali advised that if the Harijan Children(children of the god) were similar to her and her friends, then they also deserved education.
