CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 3 Relations And Functions Exercise 3(b)

Question 1.
Let A = {a, b, c }, |B| = {1, 2}
(a) Determine all the relations from A to B and determine the domain, range, and inverse of each relation.
(b) Determine all the relations from B to A.
(c) Is there any relationship that is both a relation from A to B and B to A? How many?
(d) Of all the relations from A to B, identify which relations are many ones, one-many, and one-one and represent this diagrammatically.
Solution:
(a) A = {a, b, c}, B = {1, 2}
∴ A × B = {(a, 1), (a, 2), (b, 1), (b, 2), (c, 1), (c, 2)}
∴ |A × B| = 6
∴ |P(A × B)| = 2⁶ = 64
∴ There are 64 relations from A to B as any subset of A × B. The domain of these relations is any subset of A. The inverse of these relations is any subset of B × A.
(b) There are 64 relations from B to A as any sub-set of B x A is a relation from B to A.
(c) Φ is the only relation that is from A to B and from B to A.
(d) Some many-one relations are {(a, 1), (b, 1), (c, 1), (b, 2) (c, 2)}, {(a, 2), (b, 2), (c, 2)}.

Question 2.
Are the following sets related?
(i) Φ from A to B.
(ii) A × B from A to B.
(iii) A × Φ from A to Φ.
(iv) Φ × B from Φ to B.
(v) Φ × Φ from Φ to Φ.
(vi) Φ × C from A to B.
(vii) Φ × Φ from A to B.
Determine the domain range and inverse of each of the relations mentioned above
Solution :
(i) Φ from A to B is a relation.
(ii) A × B from A to B is a relation.
(iii) A × Φ from A to Φ is a relation.
(iv) Φ × B from Φ to B is a relation.
(v) Φ × Φ from Φ to Φ is a relation.
(vi) Φ × C from A to B is a relation.
(vii) Φ × Φ from A to B is a relation.
∴ Domain of Φ i.e. D_Φ = Φ
Range of Φ i.e., R_Φ = Φ
Similarly, D_{A × B} = A, R_{A × B} = β
D_{A × Φ} = Φ, R_{A × Φ} = Φ
D _{Φ × B} = Φ = Φ, R _{Φ × B} = Φ
D _{Φ × Φ} = Φ, R _{Φ × C} = Φ
D _{Φ × C} = Φ, R _{Φ × C} = Φ
D _{Φ × Φ} = Φ, R _{Φ × Φ} = Φ
The inverse of the above relations is Φ, B × A, Φ × A, B × Φ, Φ × Φ, C ×  Φ, and Φ × Φ respectively.

Question 3.
Express the following relations on A to B in each case in tabular form :
(i) A = {n ∈ N : n ≤ 10}, B = N
f = {(x, y) ∈ A × B : y = x²}
Solution:
A = {n ∈ N : n ≤ 10}
= {1, 2, 3,…..10}, B = N
∴ B = {1, 2, 3}
∴ f ={(x, y) ∈ A × B : y = x²}
= {(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9)…..(10, 100)}

(ii) A = B = R
∴ f = {(x, y) : x² + y² = 1 and |x – y| = 1}
Solution:
A = B = R
∴ f = {(x, y) : x² + y² = 1 and |x – y| = 1}
={(0, 1) (1, 0), (-1, 0), (0, -1)}

(iii) (1, 2, 3, 4), B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
f = {x, y) : 2 divides 3x+y}
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
∴ f = {(x, y) : 2 divides 3x+y}
={(1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 2), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 3), (3,5), (4, 2), (4, 4)}

Question 4.
A and B are non-empty sets such that |A| = m, |B| = n. How many relations can be defined from A to B ? (Remember that the number of relations is the number of subsets of (A × B).
Solution:
|A| = m, |B| = n
⇒ |A × B| = mn
A relation is a subset of A to B
∴ Number of relations from A to B
= Number of subsets of A × B
= 2^mn (∴ |A × B| = mn)

Question 5.
Give an example of a relation f such that
(i) dom f – rng f (ii) dom f ⊂ rng f
(iii) dom f ⊃ rng f
(iv) f ∪ f^-1 = Φ
(v) f = f^-1
(vi) f ∪ f^-1 ≠ Φ
Solution:
Let A = { 1, 2, 3} = B
(i) Let f = {(x, y) ∈ A × B : x = y}
∴ Dom f = {1, 2, 3} = Range f

(ii) Let f = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3)}
on A = (1, 2, 3}
∴ Dom f = {1, 2} ⊂ { 1, 2, 3} = Range f

(iii) Do yourself

(iv) Let f = Φ
∴ f^-1 = Φ = f ∪ f^-1 = Φ

(v) Let f = {(x, y) ∈ A × B; x² + y² = 1}, where A = B = {1, – 1, 0}
= {(1, 0), (0, 1), (-1, 0), (0, -1)}
f^-1 = {(0, 1) (1, 0), (0, -1), (-1, 0)}
=f

(vi) Let f = {(1, 3), (3, 1)} on A = { 1, 2, 3}
∴ f^-1 = {3, 1), (1, 3)},
so that f ∩ f^-1 = Φ.

Question 6.
Let R = {(a, a³) I a is a prime number less than 10}
Fine (i) R, (ii) dom R, (iii) rng R (iv) R^-1 (v) dom R^-1 (vi) rng R^-1

Question 10.
If A = cos² θ + sin⁴ θ then prove that for all values of θ, 3/4 ≤ A ≤ 1.
Solution:
A = cos² θ + sin⁴ θ =1 – sin² θ sin⁴ θ
or, sin⁴ θ – sin² θ + (1 – A) = 0 …(1)
Eqn. (I) is quadratic in sin² θ.
∴ sin² θ = \(\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4 a c}}{2 a}\)
\(=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1-4(1-\mathrm{A})}}{2 \times 1}\)
Where a=1, b = – 1, c = 1 – A
∴ sin² θ = \(\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{4 A-3}}{2}\)
We know that sin20 is not negative and lies in [0, 1]
So, \(\sqrt{4 \mathrm{~A}-3}\) ≤ 1
⇒ 4A – 3 ≤ 1 ⇒ 4A ≤ 4 ⇒ A ≤ 1  …(2)
Again, since sin² θ is real,
b² – 4ac must be +ve
i.e., 4A – 3 ≥ 0 ⇒ A ≥ 3/4
∴ From (2) and (3),
We have 3/4 ≤ A ≤ 1          (Proved)

(ପିଲାଟି ବଣୁଆ ଜଙ୍ଗଲକୁ କିପରି ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରିଛି ?)
Answer:
The child describes the wild forest beautifully. The wild forest is full of forest sounds and sights. It is full of flowers like lilies, lotuses, and Champa. It is home to the songbird, Koil. The thrilling tune of the Koil and the forest music can be heard there.

Question 5.
What does the expression ‘the world full of pleasure’ mean? (‘the world full of pleasure’ ଶବ୍ଦପୁଞ୍ଜ କି ଅର୍ଥ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଛି ?))
Answer:
The expression ‘the world full of pleasure’ means the world is full of joys like bridal songs, lullabies, and sandal-scented leisure. The mother, while trying to persuade her daughter not to leave home and to lead a married life tells her that the world is full of pleasures.

Question 6.
What is common about bridal songs and cradle songs?
(ବିବାହ ସଙ୍ଗୀତ ଓ ନାନାବାୟା ଗୀତ ମଧ୍ଯରେ କ’ଣ ସାମଞ୍ଜସ୍ୟ ଅଛି ?)
Answer:
The common thing about bridal songs and cradles songs is that both are folk songs and are traditional and one gets pleasure from both of them.

Question 7.
How does the poet describe happiness and sorrow?
(ସୁଖ ଓ ଦୁଃଖକୁ କବି କିପରି ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରିଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
The poet describes the harsh truth of the real world by explaining that the happiness of the bridal song and cradle song will certainly turn into the rhythm of sorrows and sadness one day. The reality of life is that there is happiness today but tomorrow it will be all gone leaving mourning for death.

Question 8.
How does the poet compare forest notes with bridal songs and cradle songs?
(କବି ପ୍ରକୃତିର ସଙ୍ଗୀତ ସହିତ ବିବାହ ସଙ୍ଗୀତ ଓ ନାନାବାୟା ଗୀତକୁ କିପରି ତୁଳନା କରିଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
According to the poet, forest notes are the music of nature but bridal songs and cradle songs are the music of human beings which they sing for happiness on the occasion of social functions. But the music of nature is eternal and provides real happiness. The forest notes are sweeter than that of the bridal songs and cradle songs.

H. Let’s Appreciate The Poem:

Question 1.
The first four lines of the poem pose four questions. What does the mother want to tell her daughter?
(କବିତାର ପ୍ରଥମ ଚାରିଧାଡ଼ି ଚାରିଟି ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ଉପସ୍ଥାପନ କରିଛି । ମା’ ତାଙ୍କ ଝିଅକୁ କ’ଣ କହିବାକୁ ଚାହିଁଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
The first four lines of the poem are four questions of the mother to her daughter who does not want to marry, instead, she wants to leave her mother and grieve her lover. Being attracted by the music of nature she has decided to quit all pleasures of worldly life. The first question mother asks her is: “Where are you going, honey child ?” Mother has sensed her daughter’s leaving home and that is why she asked this. The second question is, “Would you cast your jewels all to the breezes blowing ?” The mother, in the second question, wants to know her interest in the ornaments which she is wearing for wedding purposes. In the third question, the mother wants to make the girl emotional. So she asked, “Would you leave your mother who has fed you various delicate dishes ?” In the last question, the mother wants to know the girl’s interest in marriage and family life. So she puts the question, “Would you grieve the lover who is riding forth to wed you ?” The mother asks all these questions only to change her daughter’s mind about having a marriage and family life.

Question 2.
Does the mother’s appeal have any effect on the girl? What does the girl find irresistible?
(ମା’ଙ୍କ ଅନୁରୋଧ ଝିଅ ଉପରେ କିଛି ପ୍ରଭାବ ପକାଇଛି କି ? ଝିଅଟି କ’ଣ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଆକର୍ଷଣୀୟ ବୋଲି ଭାବିଛି ?)
Answer:
No, the mother’s appeal does not have any effect on the girl. She deeply sees misery in the happiness of marriage. The girl, being attracted by the music of nature, wants to give up her home, mother, and even a married life. Nature’s attraction is irresistible on her part. She is mostly attracted by the wild forest, Champa trees, and their beautiful buds, Koil-haunted river islands, shining of flowers like lotuses and lilies, and above all the sweet voices of the fairy folk. According to the daughter’s wisdom, all worldly pleasures are transitory. Thus the mother didn’t succeed in persuading the daughter towards worldly pleasures.

Question 3.
How are worldly pleasures compared with the pleasures of the fairyland?
(ଜାଗତିକ ଆନନ୍ଦକୁ ପରୀରାଇଜର ଆନନ୍ଦ ସହିତ କିପରି ତୁଳନା କରାଯାଇଛି ?)
Answer:
The poet Sarojini Naidu has made a beautiful and interesting comparison between worldly pleasures and the pleasures of the fairyland or nature in her poem. The words and expressions in her poem like bridal robes, bridal songs, cradle songs, bridal cakes, and sandal-scented leisure are the symbols of worldly pleasures which are transitory, short-lived, and have the pace of sorrow. But this does not happen in the case of natural pleasures. Music of nature is far sweeter than bridal songs and cradle songs. Blowing winds and glittering flowers and flowing of streams provide real pleasures. The voices of the fairy folk is irresistible. So the girl seems unwilling to be chained to a marital bond.

I. Let’s Do Some Activities:

Question 1.
How many times does the word “would” occur in the poem?
(କବିତାରେ“would” ଶବ୍ଦଟି କେତେ ଥର ଅଛି ?)
Answer:
The word ‘would’ occurs three times in the poem.

Question 2.
How many questions are asked in the poem? Who – the mother or the daughter – asks the questions?
(କବିତାରେ କେତୋଟି ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ପଚରାଯାଇଛି ? କିଏ – ମା’ ଅଥବା ଝିଅ – ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ପଚାରିଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
Five questions are asked in the poem. The mother asks the questions.

Question 3.
The adjective “bridal” is used in the following expressions : “bridal songs”, “bridal robes” and “bridal cakes”. Can you use the adjective in any other expression ? (“bridal” ବିଶେଷଣଟି ନିମ୍ନଲିଖ୍ ଶବ୍ଦପୁଞ୍ଜ : “bridal songs”, “bridal robes” ଓ “bridal cakes”ରେ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୋଇଛି । ଏହି ବିଶେଷଣଟିକୁ ତୁମେ ଅନ୍ୟ କୌଣସି ଶବ୍ଦପୁଞ୍ଜରେ ବ୍ୟବାର କରିପାରିବ କି ?)
Answer:
Other expressions are as follows — “bridal party”. “bridal gown”, “bridal suite”, “bridal shower”, “brida laughter”, and “bridal tears”.

Question 4.
In lines 3 and 4 of the first stanza the word “who” is used to qualify the nouns “mother” and “lover”. Use the word to qualify other nouns in sentences of your own.
(ପ୍ରଥମ ପଦର ୩ୟ ଓ ୪ର୍ଥ ଧାଡ଼ିରେ ‘“who” ଶବ୍ଦଟି “mother” ଓ “lover? ବିଶେଷ୍ୟକୁ ବିଶେଷିତ କରିବାକୁ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୋଇଛି । ଶବ୍ଦଟିକୁ ଅନ୍ୟ ବିଶେଷ୍ୟକୁ ବିଶେଷିତ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ତୁମ ରଚିତ ବାକ୍ୟରେ ବ୍ୟବହାର କର ।)

Answer:
The Champa buds are blowing, Koil-haunted river isles, lotus lilies glisten, bridal robes are in the loom, and bridal cakes are on the hearth.

Question 6.
Marks the rhyming words in each stanza. Find out the rhyming words ending in ‘ing’ form. Discuss with your friends how many are common and what effect they have on you when you read the poem alone.
(ପ୍ରତି ପଦର ଯତିପାତ ପଡ଼ିଥ‌ିବା ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କର । ‘ing’ ରୂପରେ ଥ‌ିବା ପଦଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଖୋଜି ବାହାର କର। କେତୋଟି ସାଧାରଣ ପଦ ଅଛି ଓ ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକ କବିତାଟିକୁ ପଢ଼ିଲାବେଳେ ତୁମ ଉପରେ କି ପ୍ରଭାବ ପକାଉଛି ତୁମ ସାଙ୍ଗମାନଙ୍କ ସହ ଆଲୋଚନା କର ।)

Answer:

K. Let’s Write:

Question 1.
How does the mother dissuade the girl from going to the forest?
(ଜଙ୍ଗଲକୁ ଯିବାରୁ ମା’ ଝିଅକୁ କିପରି ନିବର୍ତ୍ତାଇଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
The mother, in the poem, comes to know about the intention of her daughter to spend an unmarried life in the lap of nature. The girl loves nature and wants to spend her whole life listening to the music of nature. And for that, she expresses her desire to go to the forest. Her mother insists that how can she throw away her costly jewels and leave her mother who has fed her delicate dishes. She will also disappoint her would-be husband who is coming to marry her. Mother also tells her about worldly pleasures. She will be delighted by the bridal songs and cradle songs. She will look beautiful in bridal robes. Her bridal cake is kept ready on the heart. She will also have a good time enjoying her life. Thus, the mother tries to dissuade the girl from going to the forest.

Question 2.
Why does the girl want to go there?
(ଝିଅଟି ସେଠାକୁ ଯିବାକୁ କାହିଁକି ଇଚ୍ଛା କରିଛି ?)
Answer:
The girl, in the poem, is a staunch lover of nature. She is completely averse to worldly pleasures. She does not prefer a married life. She wants to go to the wild forest. She shall be delighted to see the branches with beautiful buds in the Champa trees. She wants to enjoy the sweet songs of the Koils as well as the beauty of lotuses and lilies in the river island of the forest. The sweet voices of the fairy folk are calling her. Further bridal songs and cradle songs which depict worldly pleasures have cadences of sorrow. The happiness of today is followed by the sorrow of tomorrow. So she is disgusted with this kind of unnatural pleasures of life. To her, the music of nature is far sweeter than bridal songs and cradle songs. So she decides to go to the wild forest.

Question 3.
Given below is a table. Write in the table the words/expressions from the poem that you think are appropriate in each column. (ନିମ୍ନରେ ଏକ ସାରଣୀ ଦିଆଯାଇଛି । ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ତୁମେ ଭାବୁଥ‌ିବା କବିତାର ଉପଯୁକ୍ତ ଶବ୍ଦ|ଶବ୍ଦପୁଞ୍ଜଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସାରଣୀରେ ଲେଖ ।)

Worldly pleasures	Worldly pleasures

After the exercise, the teacher can divide the class in four or five groups and ask them to speak a few sentences on each word/expression. (ଅଭ୍ୟାସ ପରେ ଶିକ୍ଷକ ଶ୍ରେଣୀକୁ ଚାରି ବା ପାଞ୍ଚଟି ଦଳରେ ବିଭକ୍ତ କରିପାରିବେ ଏବଂ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଶବ୍ଦ|ଶବ୍ଦପୁଞ୍ଜ ବିଷୟରେ କେତେକ ବାକ୍ୟ କହିବାକୁ କହିବେ ।)
(This exercise shall be done in the class.)

Question 4.
Now prepare a note on the atmosphere of fairyland as described in the poem.
(କବିତାରେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣିତ ହୋଇଥ‌ିବା ଭଳି ପରୀରାଇଜର ପରିବେଶ ସମ୍ପର୍କରେ ଏକ ଟିପ୍‌ପଣୀ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କର ।)
Answer:
The fairyland here refers to the wild forest where the music of nature attracts everyone. The blowing of Champa buds upon the Champa branches, songs of singing birds, and shining of lotus and lilies in the river islands add to the beauty of the fairyland. The flowing of streams and the voices of the fairy folk are also important lectures of the fairyland.

Mother mine, to the wild forest I am going.
Whereupon the Champa boughs the Champa buds are blowing;
To the Koil-haunted river isles where lotus lilies glisten,
The voices of the fairy folk are calling me: O listen!

Gist: In this stanza, the daughter expresses her desire to go to a wild forest. She says to her mother that the wild forest, where she is going is a beautiful one. The forest has Champa trees upon whose branches buds are blowing. The river isles are haunted by Koils. Beautiful flowers like lotuses and lilies are shining there. Thus the sweet voice of this singing bird and the beauty of these flowers attract her. She also listens to the voices of the fairy folk who are calling her to the lap of nature.

Honey child, honey child, the world is full of pleasure.
Of bridal songs and cradle songs and sandal-scented leisure.
Your bridal robes are in the loom, silver, and saffron glowing,
Your bridal cakes are on the hearth: O whither are you going?

Gist: In the third stanza, the mother still tries to convince the daughter by telling her the pleasures of the worldly life. She tells her that family life is full of pleasure and happiness. She will lose herself in the songs of her marriage ceremony as well as in the soft sweet songs that she will sing for her baby in the cradle. She will also get a good time enjoying her life. Her marriage dress, which is in the loom, is dazzling with silver and saffron colors. Her bridal cakes are kept prepared on the hearth. In this arrangement, the mother dissuades her daughter from going to the wild forest.

Stanza – 4 (Lines 13 to 16)
The bridal songs and cradle songs have cadences of sorrow,
The laughter of the sun today, the wind of death tomorrow.
Far sweeter sound the forest notes where forest streams are falling;
O mother mine, I cannot stay, the fairy folk are calling.

Gist: In the final stanza the daughter says the truth of the real world. She explains that the bridal song and the cradle song will turn into a rhythm of sorrows one day. The happiness of today will be gone tomorrow leaving behind the mourning of death. But the world where she wishes to go is far sweeter than the worldly happiness where natural streams are flowing. At last, she tells her mother that she cannot stay at home and lead a married life as she is called by the fairy folk, in the forest.

About The Poet :
Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was a great Indian English poet of our country. She was popularly known as The Nightingale of India. She was not only a poet but also a freedom fighter (ସ୍ୱାଧୀନତା ସଂଗ୍ରାମୀ) who joined the freedom struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi. She was born in Hyderabad on February 13, 1879. She was the child of a prodigy. She became a prolific writer at a very young age of her life. But she gave up her literary career (ସାହିତ୍ୟିକ ବୃତ୍ତି) to join the freedom struggle. She was the first Indian woman to become the President of the Indian National Congress. She was also the first woman to become the Governor of a state i.e., Uttar Pradesh. But she is known to the readers more as a poet than a politician. The poem “Village Song” appeared in her book titled “The Golden Threshold”. Leading a very successful career of a poet and politician, she passed away in 1949.

About The Poem:
The poem ‘Village Song’ of Sarojini Naidu is a traditional folk poem in which the voice of a mother and a daughter are heard. The mother says to her daughter to wait for her bride-groom to arrive but the daughter does not want to marry. She wishes to run away to the forest and remain unmarried. The arguments of both mother and daughter on a rural social background are very simple, direct, and interesting.

हिन्दी व्याख्या: बालक कृष्ण घर के आंगन में अकेले खेल रहे हैं। उनका यह खेल सबके मन को मोह लेता है। यह वर्णन बहुत ही हृदयग्राही है। भगवान कृष्ण अपने आप कुछ गा रहे हैं। वे गाते-गाते नन्हें चरणों से नाचते भी हैं और मन-मन खुश हो रहे हैं। कभी वे हाथ उठाकर काली एवं सफेद गायों को बुलाते हैं, तो कभी नंद बाबा को पुकारते हैं। वे कभी घर के भीतर चले जाते हैं।

घर में जाकर थोड़ा मक्खन हाथ में लेकर खाते हैं, और थोड़ा-सा मुँह में लगा लेते हैं। माता यशोदा दूर से ही खड़ी होकर यह लीला देख रही हैं। और आनंदित हो रही हैं। सूरदास कह रहे हैं कि कन्हैया की यह बाललीला रोज-रोज देखने पर भी प्यारी लगती है। इससे मन तृप्त नहीं होता।

କେତେବେଳେ ଘର ଭିତରକୁ ଚାଲିଯାଇ ଲହୁଣି ଖାଉଛନ୍ତି ତ ଲହୁଣି ହାତରେ ଧରି ନିଜ ମୁହଁରେ ବୋଳି ମଧ୍ୟ ବହୁତ ସୁନ୍ଦର ଲାଗୁଛି। ଏତିକିରେ ମନର ତୃପ୍ତି ହେଉନାହିଁ। ଥାଇ ଏହା ଦେଖୁଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ଖୁସି ହେଉଛନ୍ତି। ସୁରଦାସ କହୁଛନ୍ତି ଯେ କୃଷ୍ଣଙ୍କର ଏହି ବାଲ୍ୟଲୀଳା ସବୁଦିନ ଦେଖୁଥିଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ବହୁତ ସୁନ୍ଦର ଲାଗୁଛି। ଏତିକିରେ ମନର ତୃପ୍ତି ହେଉନାହିଁ

Answer:
Yes, the meanings of ‘Home’ and ‘Love’ are very wide and gracious. We live in our home. Home becomes a paradise (ସ୍ଵର୍ଗର ନନ୍ଦନକାନନ ) when everyone in the family possesses love and they reciprocate it in a tender manner. These two words are spoken everywhere and carry the spirit of joy and metaphor for the joy of living.

Question 4.
How many times does the poet repeat ‘Home and Love’?
(କବି କେତେଥର ‘Home and Love’କୁ ଦୋହରାଇଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
The poet repeats ‘Home and Love’ seven times.

Question 5.
How does the sweetness of home link up with love?
(ଘରର ମଧୁରତା ସ୍ନେହ ସହିତ କିପରି ଜଡ଼ିତ ?)
Answer:
Love is the inner feeling in the heart of a man. It’s very tender. It appears in the heart of everyone in the family. It binds all in bliss and peace at home. So home is nothing but a paradise of peace and pleasure as the outcome of love. Thus the sweetness of home links up with love.

Question 6.

(ସ୍ନେହ ବିନା ଗୃହ — ।)
(a) agony (b) suffering (c) pain.
Answer:
(c) pain.

Can we separate Home and Love?
(ଆମେ ଘର ଏବଂ ସ୍ନେହକୁ ଅଲଗା କରିପାରିବା କି ?)
Answer:
No, we cannot separate Home and Love, because a Home without Love is bitterness, and Love without Home is often painful. These two words are closely related to each other.

Question 8.
When do you sing the whole day long?
(ତୁମେ କେତେବେଳେ ପୂରାଦିନଯାକ ଗାଅ ?)
Answer:
We sing the whole day long when we understand the significance of both the words Home and Love and occupy them to our heart’s content.

Answer:
When angels talk in heaven above, they lack to find words sweeter than Home and Love.

F. Let’s Appreciate The Poem: (ଆସ କବିତାଟିକୁ ମୂଲ୍ୟାୟନ କରିବା)

Question 1.
The poet compares home with love. Does he find one better than the other? Why/not?
(କବି ଘରକୁ ସ୍ନେହ ସହିତ ତୁଳନା କରନ୍ତି । ସେ କ’ଣ ଗୋଟିଏ ଅନ୍ୟଟି ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଉତ୍ତମ ବୋଲି ଭାବନ୍ତି ? କାହିଁକି/କାହିଁକି ନୁହେଁ ? )
Answer:
The poet compares home with love. No, he doesn’t find one better than the other. He cannot distinguish one better than the other as both seem equally important. Home and love are complementary to each other. A home without love is bitterness and love without a home is pain-giving.

Question 2.
What does the line ‘The wide and gracious range of speech’ convey?
( ‘The wide and gracious range of speech’ ଧାଡ଼ିଟି କ’ଣ ପରିପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଛି ?)
Answer:
‘The wide and gracious range of speech’ conveys that the feeling of love is very tender and its depth cannot be measured. Similarly, the degree of happiness and peace of home is pleasant and sweet.

Question 3.
Which ideas do the angels discuss in Heaven?
(କେଉଁ ଧାରଣା ବିଷୟରେ ସ୍ଵର୍ଗରେ ଦେବଦୂତମାନେ ଆଲୋଚନା କରନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
Angels discuss about the sweetness of home and love in Heaven.

Question 4.
Why does bitterness arise?
(କାହିଁକି ତିକ୍ତତା ଆସେ ?)
Answer:
Home becomes a place of peace and happiness if love is found in the heart of everyone at home. Love binds each member of the family. Bitterness (ତିକ୍ତତା) arises in the family when there is a home without love.

Question 5.
When does one have a winning position?
(କେତେବେଳେ ଜଣେ ବିଜୟୀର ସ୍ଥାନ ପାଏ ?)
Answer:
One has a winning position when he/she succeeds in getting both home and love together.

Question 6.
What are the three important words in the last two lines which convey the poet’s ideas?
(ଶେଷ ଦୁଇଧାଡ଼ିରେ କେଉଁ ତିନୋଟି ଗୁରୁତ୍ବପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଶବ୍ଦ ଅଛି ଯାହା କବିଙ୍କ ଅଭିପ୍ରାୟକୁ ପରିପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଛି ?)
Answer:
Sweet, Home and Love are the three important words in the last two lines which convey the poet’s ideas about how love exists in the Home.

Question 7.

(a) Heaven is a place where angels talk.
(b) Love can seldom exist without a home.
(c) Home and Love are sweet because they contain a wide and gracious range of speech.

Activity —3 (କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ – ୩):
Home is more important than love. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Form two groups. Select your leader for each group. The first group will give arguments to show that the statement is true. The second group will argue that the statement is false. Cooperate with each other and note down all the useful points that can be made to support your point of view.
(ସ୍ନେହ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଘର ଅଧିକ ଗୁରୁତ୍ଵପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ । ତୁମେ ଏହି ମତ ସହିତ ସମ୍ମତ ବା ଅସମ୍ମତ ? ଦୁଇଟି ଦଳ ଗଠନ କର । ପ୍ରତି ଦଳ ପାଇଁ ତୁମର ଦଳପତିଙ୍କୁ ବାଛ । ପ୍ରଥମ ଦଳ ଏହି ଉକ୍ତିଟି ଠିକ୍ ବୋଲି ଯୁକ୍ତି ଦର୍ଶାଇବେ । ଦ୍ବିତୀୟ ଦଳ ଉକ୍ତିଟି ଭୁଲ୍ ବୋଲି ତର୍କ କରିବେ ! ପରସ୍ପରକୁ ସହଯୋଗ କର ଏବଂ ଦରକାରୀ ପଏଣ୍ଟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଯାହା ତୁମ ମତାମତକୁ ସମର୍ଥନ କରୁଛି ତାକୁ ଟିପି ରଖ ।)

Answer:
My point of view is that both contain such a sense of affinity par excellence that it is hard to guess which one is the best. One feels bitter at home without love and pain without love. A home without love is bitterness and love without a home is often pain. Both travel close to each other. If a man wins one of them, he must gain both home and love. If a man possesses both, he can spend his days happily.

H. Let’s Do Some Activities: (ଆସ କିଛି କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରିବା)

Sweetness, Parents and relations, happy memories, friends, childhood games and sports, love and affection.

Answer: (ଉତ୍ତର)
 A HAPPY HOME.
A home is a place where a particular family lives. It is the sweetest place where one enjoys pleasure in life. Its sweetness attracts people to live together.

Home and Love Summary in English

Lead-In:
We all love our home as we live here together in the family and grow up in life. We also wish to come back home when we feel tired outside. We also return home from our daily work. It is because it attracts us and we get pleasure at home. So we love our home and live here. God has endowed in the heart of a man tender feeling to win the heart of others. It is the greatest quality which is called love. Reciprocation of love with one another in the family brings happiness and peace at home. Love makes an excellent complement to home. So we grow with our mother’s love and father’s care at home. This is the theme of the poem.

Notes:
endowed – ଭରିଛନ୍ତି
tender feeling – କୋମଳ ଭାବନା,
complement – ଅନୁପୂରକ,
reciprocation – ଆଦାନପ୍ରଦାନ,

Summary:
Really home and love are two small words and they consist of four letters. They convey a wide and gracious range of speech. They are so pleased that they express inner emotions of attachment to others. These two words are very loving and gentle to hear and feel. So they are tenderly complete with their sweet attribute. Hence the innate sweetness and tender attributes are not found in all other words than home and love. It is sure that the angels do not have words sweeter than home and love when they talk in heaven. The poet deeply thinks that these two words, home, and love, contain a such sense of affinity par excellence that it is hard to guess how to distinguish the best between them. His sense? of deliberation rolls up at a decision that one feels bitter at home without love and pines for love without a home. Love binds all the members of the family to peace and happiness. If a man having love in heart cannot consign it to anybody or kins, he decidedly suffers pain. He again thinks that out of these two, one alone is seldom seen, as they travel hand and glove. If a man wins one of them, he must gain both home and love. The poet is sure that when a man possesses both home and love up to his satisfaction he spends the whole day in the pursuit of pleasure. It doesn’t matter if he is poor. He can be a blithe spirit with these two words to make his bliss the result of the action of God or Goddess. Ultimately he repeats laudably that the angels do not find a substitute for such simple sweet words of hope and love when they talk in heaven.

Stanza – 1
Just Home and Love ! the words are small .
Four little letters unto each;
And yet you will not find in all
The wide and gracious range of speech
Two more so tenderly complete :
When angels talk in Heaven above,
I’m sure they have no words more sweet
Than Hone and Love.
ଅନୁବାଦ :
Home ଓ Love (ଘର ଓ ସ୍ନେହ) ଚାରି ଅକ୍ଷରବିଶିଷ୍ଟ ଦୁଇଟି କ୍ଷୁଦ୍ର ଶବ୍ଦ । ଏହି ଦୁଇଟି ଶବ୍ଦ ଭିତରେ ଯେଉଁ ଉଦାର ଓ ମଧୁର ଭାବ ନିହିତ ଅଛି, ତାହା ତୁମେ ଅନ୍ୟତ୍ର ପାଇବ ନାହିଁ । ଏହି ଦୁଇଟି ଶବ୍ଦ ଖୁବ୍ ସରଳ ଓ ଭାବଉଦ୍ରେକକାରୀ । ଯେତେବେଳେ ସ୍ଵର୍ଗରେ ଦେବଦୂତମାନେ କଥାବାର୍ତ୍ତା ହୁଅନ୍ତି, ମୁଁ ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ଯେ ସେମାନେ ଏହି ଦୁଇଟି ମଧୁର ଶବ୍ଦ Home ଓ Love (ଘର ଓ ସ୍ନେହ)ର ବିକଳ୍ପ ପାଆନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ ।

Stanza – 2
Just Home and Love! It’s hard to guess
Which of the two were best to gain;
Home without Love is bitterness;
Love without Home is often pain.
No ! each alone will seldom do;
Somehow they travel hand and glove:
If you win one you must have two,
Both Home and Love.
ଅନୁବାଦ :

And if you’ve both, well then I’m sure
You ought to sing the whole day long;

With these to make divine your song.
And so I praisefully repeat,
When angels talk in Heaven above,
There are no words more simply sweet
Than Home and Love.

Text (ପାଠ୍ୟବସ୍ତୁ):

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough.
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide

Now my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands, I go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

= i² (3√7- 5√2) (3√2 + 5√2)
= (- 1)8√2(3√7 – 5√2 )
= – 24√14 + 80

Question 3.
Multiply (√-1 +√-1) (a – b√-1)
Solution:
(√-1 +√-1) (a – b√-1)
= (i + i) (a – bi) = 2i(a – bi)
= 2ai – 2bi² = 2ai + 2b

Question 4.
Multiply (x – \(\frac{1+\sqrt{-3}}{2}\)) (x – \(\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2}\))

Show that the following numbers are equidistant from the origin:
√2 +i, 1 + i√2, i√3
Solution:
|√2 + i| = \(\sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^2+1^2}\) = √3
|1 + i√2| = \(\sqrt{1^2+(\sqrt{2})^2}\) = √3
and |i√3| = √3
∴ The points are equidistant from the origin.

Question 16.
Express each of the above complex numbers in the polar form.
Solution:

Question 17.
If 1, ω, ω² are the three cube roots of unity, prove that (1 + ω²)⁴ = ω
Solution:
L.H.S. = (1 + ω²)⁴ = (- ω)⁴ = ω⁴
= ω³ .ω = 1. ω = ω
= R.H.S. (Proved)

Question 18.
(1 – ω+ ω² ) (1 + ω – ω² ) = 4
Solution:
L.H.S. = (1 – ω+ ω² ) (1 + ω – ω² )
= (- ω – ω )(- ω² – ω² ) (∴ 1 + ω + ω² = 0)
= (- 2ω² – 2ω²) = 4ω³ = 4 = R.H.S.

Question 19.
(1 – ω) (1 – ω)² (1 – ω⁴) (1 – ω⁵) = 9
Solution:
L.H.S. =
(1 – ω) (1 – ω)² (1 – ω⁴) (1 – ω⁵)
= (1 – ω) (1 – ω²) (1 – ω) (1 – ω²)
= (1 – ω)² (1 – ω²)²
= {(1 – ω) (1 – ω²)}²
= (1 – ω² – ω + ω³)²
= {3 – (ω² + ω + 1)}²
= (3)² = 9 = R.H.S.

Question 20.
(2 + 5ω + 2ω² )⁶ = (2 + 2ω + 5ω² )⁶ =729
Solution:
L.H.S. = (2 + 5ω + 2ω² )⁶
(2 + 2ω² + 5ω)⁶ = {2(1 + ω² ) + 5ω}⁶
(- 2ω + 5ω)⁶ = (3ω)⁶ = 729ω⁶ = 729
Again, (2 + 2ω + 5ω² )⁶
= {2(1 + ω) + 5ω² )⁶
= (- 2ω² + 5ω² )⁶ = (3ω²)⁶
= 729ω¹² =729
∴ (2 + 5ω + 2ω² )⁶ = (2 + 2ω + 5ω² )⁶ =729

Question 21.
(1 – ω + ω² ) (1 – ω² + ω⁴) (1 – ω⁴ +ω²)  ….to 2n factors = 2²ⁿ
Solution:
L.H.S. = (1 – ω + ω² ) (1 – ω² + ω⁴) (1 – ω⁴ +ω²)  ….to 2n factors = 2²ⁿ
= (- ω – ω) (1 – ω² + ω) (1 – ω + ω² )  ….to 2n factors = 2²ⁿ
= (- 2ω) (- ω² – ω² ) (- ω – ω)  ….to 2n factors = 2²ⁿ
= [(- 2ω)(- 2ω) … to n factors] × [(- 2ω²)(- 2ω²) …. to n factors]
= (- 2ω)ⁿ × (- 2ω²)ⁿ = (4ω³)ⁿ = 4ⁿ = 2²ⁿ
R.H.S. (Proved)

Question 22.
Prove that x³ + y³ + z³– 3xyz
= (x + y + z) (x + ωy + ω²z) (x + yω² + zω)
Solution:
R.H.S. = (x + y + z) (x + ωy + ω²z) (x + yω² + zω)
= (x + y + z) (x + xyω² + zxω + xyω + y²ω³+ yz ω2 + zxω² + yzω⁴ + z²ω³)
= (x + y + z) [x² + y² + z² + xy (ω² + ω) +yz (ω² + ω) + zx(ω² + ω)]
= (x + y + z) (x² + y² + z² – xy – yz – zx)
= x³ + y³ + z³ – 3xyz = L.H.S. (Proved)

Question 23.
If x = a + b, y = aω + b ω², z = aω² + bω show that
(1) xyz = a³ + b³
Solution:
L.H.S. = xyz
= (a + b) (a ω + b ω²) (a ω² + b ω)
= (a + b) (a² ω³ + ab ω² + ab ω⁴ + b² ω³)
= (a + b) {a² + b² + ab(ω² + ω)}
= (a + b) (a² – ab + b²) = a³ + b³ = R.H.S. (Proved)

(2) x² + y² + z² = 6ab
Solution:
L.H.S. = x² + y² + z²
= (a + b)² + (a ω + b ω²)² (a ω² + b ω)²
= a² + b² + 2ab + a² ω² + b² ω⁴ + 2ab ω³ + a² ω⁴ + b² ω² + 2ab ω³
= a² + a² ω² + a² ω + b² + b² ω + b² ω² + 2ab + 2ab + 2ab
= a²(1 + ω² + ω) + b² (1 + ω + ω²) + 6ab
= 0 + 0 + 6ab = 6ab = R.H.S. (Proved)

(3) x³ + y³ + z³ = 3(a³ + b³)
Solution:
L.H.S. = x³ + y³ + z³
= (a + b)³ + (a ω + b ω²)³ + (aω² + b²)³
= a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ + a³ ω³ + 3a²b² bω² + 3a ωb² ω⁴ + b³ ω⁶ + a³ ω⁶ + 3a² ω⁴bω + 3a ω²b² ω² + b³ ω³
= a³ + a³ + a³ + b³ + b³ + b³ + 3a²b(1 + ω⁴ + ω⁵) + 3ab² (1 + ω⁵ + ω⁴)
= 3a³ + 3b³ + 0 + 0 = 3 (a³ + b³) = R.H.S. (Proved)

Question 24.
If ax + by + cz = X, cx + by + az = Y, bx + ay + cz = Z
show that (a² + b² + c² – ab – bc- ca) (x² +y² + z² – xy – yz – zx) = X² + Y² + Z² – YZ – ZX – XY
Solution:
L.H.S.
= (a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca) (x² + y² + z² – xy – yz – zx)
= (a + b ω + cω²) (a + bω² + cω) (x + yω + zω)² (x + yω² + z ω) (Refer Q.No.22)
= {(a + bω + cω²) (x + yω + zω²)} {(a + bω² + cω) (x + yω² + zω)}
= (ax + ayω + azω² + bx ω + byω² + bzω³ + cxω² + cyω³ + czω⁴) × (ax + ay ω² + azω + bxω² + byω⁴ + bzω³ + cxω + cyω³ + czω²)
= {(ax + cy + bz) + (cx + by + az) ω + (bx + ay + cz) ω²} x (ax + cy + bz) + (cx + by + az) ω + (bx + ay + cz) ω²}
= (X + Yω² + Zω) (X + Yω + Zω²)
= X² + Y² + Z² – XY – YZ – ZX (Refer Q. No. 22)
(Where X = ax + cy + bz.
Y = cx + by + az.
Z = bx + ay + cz).

Writing task: (ଲିଖନ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ)
This poem is about a sailor named Alexander Selkirk. He swam to a lonely island after a ship wreck. That was a no man’s island. Only beasts and birds lived there. (ଏହି କବିତାଟି ଆଲେକ୍‌ଜାଣ୍ଡର ସେଲ୍‌କାର୍କ ନାମକ ଜଣେ ନାବିକ ବିଷୟରେ ଲିଖ୍ । ଏକ ଜାହାଜ ଦୁର୍ଘଟଣା ପରେ ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ନିର୍ଜନ ଦ୍ବୀପକୁ ପହଁରି ଯାଇଥିଲେ । ଏହା ଏକ ମାନବବିହୀନ ଦ୍ଵୀପ ଥିଲା । କେବଳ ପଶୁ ଓ ପକ୍ଷୀମାନେ ସେଠାରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିଲେ ।)
Think yourself as Selkirk and write in about ten lines describing your feeling of loneliness. (ନିଜକୁ ସେଲ୍‌କାର୍କ ମନେକରି ତୁମ ନିର୍ଜନତାର ଅନୁଭୂତିକୁ ବର୍ଣନା କରି ଦଶଟି ବାକ୍ୟରେ ଲେଖ ।)
Answer:
I am a sailor named Alexander Selkirk. Once I was on a sea voyage ( ଜଳଯାତ୍ରା) along with other crews. Unfortunately (ଦୁର୍ଭାଗ୍ୟବଶତଃ ) the ship was wrecked (ଦୁର୍ଘଟଣାଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ହେଲା) during the voyage. I was lucky enough to swim to a lonely island after the wreck. It was an uninhabited island. I felt lonely there. Only beasts and birds lived there. They remained aloof. Because they were not acquainted (ପରିଚିତ ନ ଥିଲେ)with man. I remembered the great sayings of the sages who used to get charms in solitude (ନିର୍ଜନତା). But I myself didn’t get any pleasure in that solitude. I realized that it was better to live in the midst of difficulties than to live in a lonely place like that isolated island. I always remembered my friends and relatives in my native land. I was anxious to hear the voice of my near and dear ones. But my dreams remained unfulfilled. My recollections left me in despair. I prayed to God to rescue me from that difficult situation. God heard my prayers and I was rescued after four years by a passing ship.

Alexander Selkirk Summary in English

Lead-In:
No human being likes to remain in loneliness, without friends, or out of society. This is a human tendency. It is very painful and pathetic to be far away from human habitation. ‘Alexander Selkirk’ is a poem that is based on a real adventure that happened to a sailor. Because of a dispute with the ship’s captain or after a shipwreck, he was deserted on an uninhabited island. There he lived alone for four years and was later rescued by a passing ship. Daniel Defoe’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ is also based on the same incident. Now read the poem and realize the feeling of loneliness of Alexander Selkirk.

Summary:
In the poem, the sailor (Alexander Selkirk) says that he is the sole monarch of the lonely island and there is no one in the world who will fight with him for that right. He is the supreme ruler of the birds and animals there. In his opinion, wise men and philosophers say that there is pleasure in living a lonely life away from the crowds of men. But Selkirk cannot find any joy in his loneliness. He feels that it is better to accept the troubles and anxieties of living in society than to rule that horrible land.

Selkirk cannot hope to return to mankind. He imagines that he must end his life on that lonely island. He is unable to hear the sweet speech of man. He is startled, surprised at his own voice. It seems strange to him as he hasn’t spoken to a man for a long long time. The animals never fear him as they do not know the strength of man. He says that friendship and love are the divine gifts given to a man who lives in society. He thinks if he had the wings of a dove he would cross the ocean and see the faces of his friends and relatives.

As a result, his sorrows and sufferings would be reduced and relaxed and he would spend his days happily following religion and truth. He might learn wise things from wise men and spend his days happily with the young. He is completely disheartened by his loneliness. He has addressed the winds to listen to him. He requests the winds to bring the good news of the place which he can never visit. He also appeals to the winds to convey his message to his near and dear ones whom he can never see. He wants to know if his friends remember and wish to see him. He feels that the movement of the mind is very swift and it visits the whole world in a moment.

The movement of the mind is more swift than the movement of wind and light. Whenever he thinks of his native land, he feels as if he is present there. But when he realizes his present position, his heart is filled with despair. At last, he thinks that it is unwise to think all these things as it brings unhappiness. The birds and beasts have taken rest in their respective resting places. So he feels it proper to have his rest. He hopes that God is omnipresent and sees the sorrows and sufferings of human beings. God will definitely remove his plight as He is very kind and merciful.

I AM monarch of all I survey,
My right there is none to dispute,
From the centre all round to the sea
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
O Solitude ! where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face ?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms
Than reign in this horrible place.

I am out of humanity’s reach,
I must finish my journey alone,
Never hear the sweet music of speech;

Their tameness is shocking to me.

About the poet:
William Cowper (1731 AD to 1800 AD) was born at Great Berkharnpstead, in Hertfordshire, where his father was a rector. His poems were published late in life. At the very end of his volume of poems, a few miscellaneous short poems were also included. One of them is the well-known poem containing the reflections of Alexander Selkirk. The poem reflects the freedom of his spirit on a lonely island.

Notes :

• Each group reads a stanza and the rest of the groups repeat after them and so on.
• Finally each group reads a stanza.
• The teacher invites some students to recite the poem individually.

2. Let’s say the following dialogue.
(ଆସ, ତଳଲିଖୁତ ସଂଳାପଟି କହିବା ।)
Imagine that David is a person, who works for a reputed telecasting organization. He interviews the poet, James Kirkup in his poem “No Men Are Foreign”. See, how the poet interacts with David.

David       : Good evening, Sir.
The Poet  : Good evening David!
David       : Could you share some information on your poem ‘No Men Are Foreign’, Sir?
The Poet  : I’d welcome any questions.
David       : “No Men Are Foreign” is a wonderful piece of poetry. What made you pen the poem?
The Poet  : The sharp distinction between man and man.
David       : How’s that, Sir?
The Poet  : You see, all men are born, live, and die. This is common to all. They feel pain or pleasure in one and the same way. But, you see, it’s the boundary, attires, languages, and beliefs which create differences among men on the earth.
David       : Will you add something more, please?
The Poet  : Well, here you’re. All men belong to one earth. They enjoy benefits from the sun, air, and water equally well. Everyone works hard for bread. I can’t just believe how the walls of castes, creed, and color divide humanity.

No Men are Foreign Summary in English

Lead-In:
The people who live in countries other than ours are not different from us. We are part of a great brotherhood under the shade of the sweet creation of God. We live under the same roof of the sky and all shall lie, buried in the same earth. God has endowed in the heart of man tender feeling to share the pain and pleasure of the world. There is an essential unity of the human race despite all differences we can think of. We are the children of the same God who has made us equal. All people live and breathe in a similar fashion in the way we breathe. The same blood flows in every human body. We fear and smile in the same way as others do. In spite of caste, color, country, and religion, etc., we are human and live under the same roof of the sky. How can we be foreigners to others?

ଉପକ୍ରମ :
ଏହି ସୁନ୍ଦର ପୃଥ‌ିବୀଟି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ କଳାକୌଶଳର ଚିତ୍ତାକର୍ଷକ ଉତ୍ସ । ସର୍ଜକର ସର୍ଜନାର ସର୍ଜନୀ କୋଣ ଅନୁକୋଣରେ ବିକଶିତ ହୋଇଛି । ଜାତି, ଧର୍ମ ଓ ଦେଶ ନିର୍ବିଶେଷରେ ଆମେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସମାନ । ଆମର ରକ୍ତ ଓ ଶ୍ଵାସକ୍ରିୟା କ’ଣ ଅନ୍ୟଠାରୁ ଭିନ୍ନ ? ଆମର ଖାଇବା ପିଇବା କ’ଣ ଅନ୍ୟଠାରୁ ଭିନ୍ନ ? ପବିତ୍ର ସ୍ବଚ୍ଛ ଜଳବାୟୁ କ’ଣ ଗୋଟିଏ ଦେଶର ବା ଜାତିର ମଣିଷ ପାଇଁ ? ଆମେ କାନ୍ଦୁ ବା ହସୁ ଠିକ୍ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି । ଜନ୍ମ ସମୟରେ ଆମେ ଏହି ପୃଥ‌ିବୀରେ ପାଦ ଦେଉ, ଅନ୍ତିମ ସମୟରେ ଏହି ପୃଥ‌ିବୀରେ ଆଶ୍ରୟ ନେଉ । ତେବେ ଆମେ କିପରି ଅନ୍ୟର ଦୃଷ୍ଟିରେ ବିଦେଶୀ ହୋଇପାରିବୁ ?

Summary:
No one is a stranger in God’s world. We are the children of the same father God. To deliberate it in your inner emotion that we are all attached by one golden tie of brotherhood is necessary. The people who live in countries other than ours are our brothers. We live in the same earth. There is an essential unity of the human race despite all differences. Discrimination is a low feeling that harasses each other. All the people on the earth live and breathe in a similar fashion as we breathe. God has made us equal. We eat, drink and work in a similar fashion. The same blood flows in every human body.

We feel pain or pleasure, tears, and smile in the same way. We all shall lie hurried in the same earth when we die. We all enjoy the fresh air, water, and sunshine like others who live in a foreign land. It is wartime trouble caused by people which robs away the peace of human beings. To hate people of other countries as commanded by power-hungry people is always hateful. They only deprive someone’s possession. They pollute the sweetness of human society. We can say the freshness and purity of air that nature has blessed us is polluted due to war. The strength of other people can be won by love and kindness, not by force or war.

Central Idea of the Poem :
All men are equal. Though they are separated by boundaries, language and attire, we should not hate people from other nations as we all belong to one brotherhood.

He works as a Professor of English at Stockholm and at Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. He died on 10 May 2009. The present poem “No Men Are Foreign” is based on the idea that no man is foreign or strange. The theme that Kirkup presents is all men are equal. Though they are separated by boundaries, languages, and attires, there is no difference among men of different nations. Thus, we should not hate people from other nations as we all belong to one brotherhood.

Summary:
Ben Jonson compares man to a long-lived oak tree and a short-lived lily flower in a beautiful manner. An oak tree survives for hundreds of years and it is- famous for the largeness of its size. Ultimately it becomes bare and dry and falls to the ground. Its life comes to an end after a pretty long time. On the contrary, a lily is a tiny flower. It blooms for a very short time. It falls and dies on the very day at night.

It is a flower of light and it attracts the attention of all by dint of its natural beauty. The poet says that we see beauties in small things. Because God has made every tiny creature or thing very beautiful and noble. They spread their fragrance even if they are short-lived. Similarly, man can make his life noble although it is short-lived. His nobility makes him perfect in his short life.

survives – ତିଷ୍ଠି ରହେ,
virtue – ଭଲ ଗୁଣ,
nobility – ମହତ୍ଵପଣିଆ,
blooms – ଫୁଟେ,
attracts – ଆକର୍ଷିତ କରେ,
attention – ଧ୍ୟାନ
