रीढ़ की हड्डी

In this Class 9 Hindi topic, रीढ़ की हड्डी (Backbone) is studied in the context of the parent chapter Ganga. Students explore how the one-act play uses dialogue, satire, characterization, and irony to question dowry, gender discrimination, and the treatment of women in marriage negotiations. They examine Uma’s dignity and courage, understand the symbolic meaning of the title, and practise identifying the writer’s social message, dramatic techniques, and important language features.
