Question 6: What all things did the boy tell about himself?
Answer: The boy told that when he would grow up, he would like to belong to the Budh Math. This is because his mother had told that for Harijans there was no place in the Hindu Math and they were just outcastes. He was of the Weaver caste. He also told that the village boys would not even let them play with them in case they should touch them during the sport. However, Gautama accepted everyone so, he wanted to wander like him.
