mean to Mandela? How did he learn the
meaning of courage?
Ans1) Courage means the triumph over fear for Nelson Mandela.
South Africa
was suffering from the menace of the policy of apartheid for long time. This had
a deep and impact on the people. They were accustomed to racial discrimination,
suffering, poverty and deprivation. But on the other hand decades of torture
and oppression produced men of supreme character like Oliver Tambo, Walter
Sisulu. They acquired extra ordinary wisdom and courage. They risked and sacrificed their lives just for an
idea. They were subjected to tortures, brutalities and inhuman treatment. Nelson
learned the meaning of courage from them. He understood that courage was the
victory over fear, not just its absence.

obligations have been mentioned in this lesson? Explain?

in his life- one for his family and another for his country. He has to arrange
basic necessities for his family members. He has to work for his children, wife
and parents. On the other hand, he has some duties for the society and his
country. He can fulfill them according to his capacities and abilities. Mandela
was worried as it was impossible for a black man to fulfill them in South Africa . People
were prisoner of the policy of apartheid. Their mind was bounded. They were
unable to fulfill any of the obligations.
