Mention three reasons why the author's grandmother was disturbed when he started going to school?  

Answer:

(i) The lessons taught in the city school were in English and the topics such as little things of Western science, law of gravity etc were all beyond grandmother's comprehension. She could not help her grandson with his lessons so, she was unhappy.   (ii) She had no faith in the things that were taught in the English school and was distressed that there was no teaching about God and scriptures.   (iii) She was very unhappy when she came to know that music lessons were taught in her grandson's school. She always associated music with harlots and beggars and not with gentle folk.
