Q-1. Why was the serial “Kashi Yatra” found to us so interesting by the women at the temple in general and the grandmother of the author? Do you find it as an example of social injustice? Justify your answer. 

Author Sudha murthy's grandmother showed interest in kashi yatre because she could identify herself with the old woman in the story. She too like her had an ardent desire to go to kashi and worship Lord Vishweshwara there.

 ‘Kashi Yatre’ was a story of the struggle of an old lady who had a strong desire to go to Kashi or Varanasi but could not do so because she spent the money she had saved for the purpose, in helping a poor orphan get married. There is a belief among most of the Hindus that going to Kashi and worshipping Lord Vishweshwara is the ultimate ‘punya’. The grandmother had never been to Kashi. Like all other Hindus, she also had a desire to visit Kashi, but was anyway happy cooking and feeding her grandchildren. That is why she identifies herself, with the protagonist of ‘Kashi Yatre’. This shows that she is a religious lady, who is very loving and affectionate. The womwn in  the temple also had the same opinion.
