ANALYSIS OF DATA COLLECTED
I have centred my topic to four mothers. These
families either belong to lower class or middle-
middle class. First of all, I would like to talk
about those mothers who have their “normal”
children and then with the mothers whose
children have any kind of disability.
Mrs. Suman (name changed), who has two sons
Chirag and Deyansh, gets up around 6 in the
morning during the week days and gets fresh.
She wakes up her 3-year old son Chirag, who
has recently started going to school, and
prepares food for him and for her husband. Mrs.
Suman tries to complete all household work till
Chirag comes back home around 12. At around
12:30, she sends Devyansh, her elder son to
school who comes back home around 6 o’
clock. While interviewing her, her younger son
constantly tried to divert our attention towards
himself by doing different kind of activities.
When I asked Mrs. Suman whether is there any
time when she gets relaxed in a day? She replied
that usually when her children go to the school
or tuition. This is only time when she feels little
relaxed or finds a little time to watch T.V.
My second interview was with Mrs. Naina
(name changed) who is also a mother of two
children. I visited her home at around 5 o’ clock
in the evening when she was about to finish her
tuition. Her 4- year old daughter, Manyata was
at home, was playing with the little kids. Mrs.
Naina gets up nearly at 6 o’ clock. She goes to
temple around 7 o’clock and comes back and
then prepares her both the children for the
school. After that, she does her household work
such as dusting, cleaning, washing and
everything till the time her children return from
the school. As soon as, her children arrive from
school, she gives them food. Later, after
sending her children to tuition, she herself gives
coaching to little kids till 5th standard. When
asked about her leisure time, she replied that
usually when the children sleep in the day time,

this is the time when she feels more relaxed or
even on Sunday when she does not have any
class on that day.
My third interview was Mrs. Sonia. She is from
Schedule Caste category and from a middle
class family background. Mrs. Sonia lives in a
Joint family system. She also trains other girls
for beautician course at her home. She is the
mother of two daughters, Garima and Harshita.
Garima is 8- year old girl whereas Harshita is 6
year old girl. Garima goes to school however,
Harshita does not. Harshita is the child who
cannot hear and talk. When it was asked to Mrs.
Sonia, when did she realize that Harshita has
this problem? She replied that they never
realized it that her daughter has this problem.
Perhaps, during the childhood when Harshita
fell ill, she lost her hearing power. With the
passage of time, they also learnt sign language
with Harshita since Harshita herself used to use
the sign language in order to communicate.
Harshita’s family is struggling to get the proper
treatment of her hearing problem. Also, in order
to get the equipment to hear, she has to cross the
11 levels. In her test, she has cleared 10 tests.
Nevertheless, she is facing problems to clear the
last test because the doctors as well as her
mother are not abled to make Harshita
understand about what she has to do in order to
clear the final test. Harshita’s family is also
struggling to get her PWD Category certificate
to get enrol her in any special school for her
learning process.
My final participant is Mrs. Shivani (name
changed). Shivani’s family belongs to a lower
class though they do not have income
certificate. She sometimes earns through
making birthday caps at her home. Her son,
Nitin cannot talk and walk. He can walk only
through someone’s support. Nitin is her only
son who has been adopted by the family when
he was two month old. Earlier, people used to
say that Nitin has some kind of weakness and
he will recover as he will grow up. His family
did not have any option but to keep him with
