Answer 1

Two incidents that show how differences can be created, and also how they can be resolved are:
When Lakshamana Sastry got to know about the way the new school teacher had made Kalam sit on the back bench because he was a Muslim, he asked the teacher to apologize or quit the school. The new teacher not only regret his behavior but also was reformed by the Lakshamana Sastry’s strong sense of conviction.
Kalam’s science teacher, Sivasubramania Iyer, asked Kalam to his home for a meal. His wife was horrified at the idea of a Muslim boy being invited to her pure kitchen. Sivasubramania Iyer served Kalam food with his own hands and sat down beside him to eat his meal. The next time he invited Kalam to his home, Sivasubramania Iyer’s wife served him food with her own hands inside the kitchen

Answer 2

Influential individuals have the power to do multiple things. A teacher can bring together people from different communities and can also influence the feelings of innocent and uninformed individuals. This is what the new teacher did. However, the Science teacher Sivasubramania Iyer helped change his wife's mindset and guided her in the right direction.
