Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct / most appropriate options.
1. Sindhutai was born on 14th November 1948 in the cattle grazing family in Maharashtra's Wardha district. Her father was keen to educate her but mother was not. At the age of ten she was married to a man twenty years her senior. Post marriage she faced a difficult life but she did not lose hope. In her new home she fought against the exploitation of local women, who collected cow dung, by the forest department and landlords. This only made things more difficult for her.
2. At the young age of twenty, when nine-months pregnant, she was beaten badly and left to die by her husband. She gave birth to a baby girl Mamta in that semi-conscious state and struggled to stay alive. Sindhutai took to begging on the streets and railway platforms to survive. Because she feared being picked up by men at night she often spent the night at cemeteries. Such was her condition that people called her a ghost since she was seen at night in the cemeteries.
3. In this constant tussle to survive, she found herself in Chikaldara, situated in the Amravati district of Maharashtra. Here, due to a tiger preservation project, 84 tribal villages were evacuated. Amidst the confusion, a project officer impounded 32 cows of Adivasi villagers and one of the cows died. Sindhutai decided to fight for the proper rehabilitation of the helpless tribal villagers. Her efforts were acknowledged by the Minister of Forests and he made appropriate arrangements for alternative relocation.
4. It was during these tiring times that she realized how difficult it would be for abandoned children or orphans and decided to do something for them. Her first adopted child was Deepak, whom she found on a railway track. Quite soon she had adopted sixteen children.
5. So Sindhutai started taking care of children in return for some food. Looking after these kids soon became the mission of her life. She set up four NGOs to accomplish her mission.
6. This way Sindhu became Sindhutai or Mai or mother of orphans.
