I. ANSWER THE
FOLLOWING QUESTION BRIEFLY:
1) The writer speaks of the ‘smile’ that welcomes
anyone who enters Hanif’s house. What more do we know about his ‘smile’?
Ans:
Those who came into Hanif’s house were greeted with
his smile. But this smile stayed only within the photo frame. Lieutenant
Hanifuddin was a young hero. He gave up his life in the Kargil war at the age
of 25 years. He loved his duty and stayed cheerful all the time.
2) What did Hanif choose as his mission? Why did he
do so?
Ans:
During his training at the IMA, he slowly turned
into a devoted soldier. Maybe Hanifuddin felt that his life was short and he
had to keep reminding himself of his duty. Even though he belonged to a family
of musicians, he wished to change lives, so he entered the army and chose this
mission to serve the nation.
3) Life for Hanif, in the beginning, was never a
smooth sail. Why was it so?
Ans:
When Hanif was just eight years old, he lost his
father. He had to take care of his three younger brothers. His mother Hema Aziz
had a travelling job and was away most of the time. They had to manage their
work on their own. So life was not very easy.
4) The absence of a mother from home taught the
children something. What was that?
Ans: Hanif’s
mother, a singer, often had to leave Hanif and his brothers alone, as she
travelled with the performance group of the Information and Broadcasting
Ministry. The mother’s absence taught the children the value of self-reliance.
Their mother going to work without fail gave them the lesson that one’s duty is
the most important thing in life.
5) How does the writer describe the ‘introvert’
Hanif?
Ans:
The writer says that Hanif, who was shy, began
making friends only when he was 14 years old. But this never stopped him from
helping others. Many people recalled his kind help even after his death.
6) Hanif was a young man with varied talents and
interest. Illustrate this statement by drawing support from the text.
Ans:
The life of Hanif was always carefree and joyful. He
drew very well, made lovely cards from waste things, read many books and
enjoyed playing the drums. As a young man, he was very gifted and showed a
great love for life.
ANSWER THE
FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1) Write a note on Hanifuddin’s education.
Ans:
Hanifuddin studied at Kerala School in New Delhi. He
finished his graduation from Shivaji College, also in New Delhi. After
completing his degree, he entered the Indian Military Academy to get military
training.
2) What were the dreams of Hanif? Do you think they
were fulfilled?
Ans:
Hanif had dreamed that he would rise higher in the
army ranks. This dream was not fulfilled because he lost his life in the Kargil
war. Another dream of his was that a post should be named after him. That dream
became true when a sub-sector was given his name.
3) Hanifuddin ‘A Great Martyr’ was a talented young
man. Describe.
Ans:
Hanif, even as a boy of fourteen, cared for everyone
around him. It is sad that he passed away before his life could fully bloom.
But what stands out is that, along with his care for others and love for the
nation, he was also known for his skill. At the Indian Military Academy, he
practiced art and drew very well. He found joy in making cards from waste,
reading many books, and playing drums. The officers at the Raj Rifs asked him to
bring all his instruments from Delhi to form the music group later named ‘Hanif
7’.
4) How did Hema Aziz teach her children the message
that “one’s duty is the most important thing in life”?
Ans: Hanif’s
mother, being a widow with three children to raise, had to work. As a singer,
she often travelled with the performance group of the Information and
Broadcasting Ministry. When she went out for work, she gave no explanations to
her children. Yet, the children understood and learned that doing one’s duty is
the most important thing in life. They also grew up to be responsible and
mature.
