Read the following passage carefully.
Moyna was a Shabar. The Shabars were a poor tribal group, and they owned no land. But nobody complained. Only Moyria’s questions went on and on. “Why do I have to walk so far to the river to fetch water? Why do we live in a leaf hut? Why can’t we eat rice twice a day?” Moyna tended the goats of the village landlords or Babus, but she was neither humble nor grateful. She did her work and came home in the evening.
“Why should I eat their leftovers ?” She would ask,
“I will cook delicious meal with green leaves and rice and crabs and chilli powder and eat with my family.”
The Sabars did not usually send their daughters to work. But Moyna’s mother had a bad leg and so couldn’t walk properly. Her father had gone off to faraway Jamshedpur in search of work and her brother, Goro, went to the forest every day to collect fire-wood. (The Why-Why Girl)
