The Differences Between the Society in the Time of "The Kabuliwala" and Now

There are major differences between the society portrayed in the story and what it is now . Through this story we get to see how people trusted each other back then and how insecure our society is today. Back then, children wouldn’t hesitate to speak to strangers and today we suspect almost any stranger that approaches us friendly. At the time when the story was written people were very open and friendly whereas people have grown hesitant over the years due to the insecurity present in our society today. People have become very selfish over time and they don’t seem to take the effort to make friends or know more people. People today are very egoistic and they aren’t very caring . Therefore, there is a significant difference between the society back then and today.

we feel that society has radically changed from the past where people were brothers and were friendly to each other while today the new generation have a feeling of suspiciousness and enimity towards each other. this is portrayed as the older generation of father and kabuliwala were talking friendly and the younger generation of mini that stay away from strangers. there are people that act friendly and go along with strangers and there are some people that stay away from unknown people. in the end they get along to show that world has not gone for the bad and people are willing to sacrifice for others.

Well, we think there is a HUGE difference between the society portrayed here and the one in which we live today. The way in which the father allowed a Kabuliwala(Stanger) to meet his daughter is something which won’t happen today. in those days the people used to trust each other as it is shown in kabuliwala. The rich trusted the poor and the kabuliwala was freely allowed him to feed mini with dry fruits. Empathy was a theme of this novel and the father feels his pain and allows him to meet his daughter.

I think there are differences between the society that prevailed during that time because as we see...
