Are there communities in your neighbourhood whose ancestors might have come to India centuries Class 7

Question 1.

Are there communities in your neighbourhood whose ancestors might have come to India centuries ago and made it their home? Have a class discussion on what their experience may have been. Class 7

Answer:

Yes, there are many communities in my neighbourhood whose ancestors came to India long ago. The Parsis family fled from Persia due to religious persecution. They found a welcoming home in India, where they could practice their faith freely and contribute to society. Their experiences often include challenges like language barriers and cultural differences.


Question 2.

Identify similar values in any story or local tradition etc. known to you. You could ask your guardians or relatives too. Collect these stories and create a class manuscript. You could include illustrations. Class 7

Answer:

(Note: Student can create manuscript using this information.) One similar value is 'Atithi devo bhava', which means 'the guest is like God'. In my family, we always welcome guests warmly, offering them food and comfort. My grandmother often shares stories about how, during festivals, our home becomes a gathering place for friends and family. This tradition shows our respect and love for others, just like the Indian values of acceptance and kindness.
