Q- which incident affected the relationship of grandmother and the narrator and how did she behave when her grandson had to go for higher studies???

The turn in the relationship came when the author began to tell his grandmother the words that he was learning in English and little things of western science which made her unhappy. She could not help him with his lessons anymore as she had not been taught in English, nor was she aware western learning. She did not believe in the things that the author was taught at the English school and was distressed to learn that there was no teaching about God and the scripture. One day when the author announced that he was being given music lessons, she was very disturbed. To her, music had lewd associations of being the sole domain of harlots and beggars, not suitable for gentlefolk. She disapproved of such practices but said nothing. She rarely talked to the author after that. When the author went up to the University, he was given a room of his own and the common link of their friendship was snapped. His grandmother accepted her seclusion with resignation and devoted herself solely to her prayers and spinning wheel.
