Comprehensive Answer Questions:
[4 × 5 = 20]Read the following text carefully and answer the questions given below:
In the Sauraha complex there are two Tharu villages. Centrally located within the tourist destination, Sauraha village consists of 20 households, whereas Odra village comprises 25 households. The distance between these villages is less than a kilometer and there is a road linking them. Within this area, there are about 15 big hotels and 20 mobile shops and restaurants. The guests move around these two villages in the course of their visit to Chitwan National Park using the road connecting them. Both sides of this road are decorated with hotel signboards, guide offices, restaurants and bus/train information centers. The strolling tourists can see scenes of everyday life of the Tharus: children playing barefoot either on the roadside or in the courtyard of their houses, while adults lie busy working in rice fields. In the evenings, the Tharus in turn can see tourists dining on the rooftop of restaurants, with fluorescent light and modern music. Most of the Tharu villagers are engaged in work as bunivurus or daily laborers. They either work in the fields or in the hotels. Lodge owners employ them for handywork such as repairing fences, roofs and so on. The bunivurus laborers do not have many opportunities to raise their status or mingle with tourists because of their lack of education and knowledge of foreign languages. They also lack entrepreneurial skills. This compounded with their laid-back attitude, explains why they are relegated to manual labor while their counterparts run the hotels and restaurants. When the bunivurus have money, they spend a large portion of their income on socializing. This may include drinking with friends or providing a dinner party for the family. In any event, the Tharus enjoy spending time with their families and community. The quasi-leisure activities of fishing and firewood collecting are usually carried out in groups.
