Discussion
The EVS textbook has a chapter on snake charmer. It is intended to make children aware and be sensitized-
Answer: C
The chapter aims to sensitise children that snake charmers may not harm snakes and they need to be provided with alternatives before depriving them of their livelihoods.
The NCERT Class V chapter on snake charmers (in Looking Around) tells the story of a community whose traditional livelihood was made illegal by wildlife protection laws. It asks children to consider both sides: the protection of animals and the people who have depended on them for generations and now need other means of earning a living.
Reducing the chapter to 'it is illegal' misses its concern for the people. It is not about nostalgia for rare sights, and it does not promote keeping animals as a livelihood.
