4. Explaining the different characters and also the
position of Ishaan Awasthi when the parents , teacher
and classmates are abusing about him:
About Ishaan Awasthi:
Ishaan Awasthi is an 8 years old. Who is criticized by
his parents for his poor academic performance and is sent
away to a boarding school. Ram an art teacher, however
realizes he has Dyslexia and helps him uncover his potential.

5.  Discussion Between Parents and his teacher during meetings:
These kids are very disorderly or instinctively orderly, and some of them suffer
from ADHD. These kids are extremely bad at time management and school is the most
stressful time for them. In studies these children remain confused as to, ―What to do or
what not to do?‖ These kids are sometimes called trouble maker, class clowns, etc. They do
not have many friends, sometimes no friend at all. They are emotionally sensitive. In Taare
Zameen Par, we 104 observe that Ishaan is an extremely disorderly hyperactive child. He is
very poor at time management and in school; he is called clumsy and careless by his
teachers. When Ishaan parents go to meet the principal and teachers complain about him:
Maths teacher:
Class work and homework, there is no improvement. Exactly like last year.
Books are still his enemies. Reading and writing is like a punishment. Sometime
his English handwriting looks like Russian. He keeps making the same
mistake. Does not pay any attention whatsoever.
English teacher:
All the time asking for permission to go toilet. ―I am thirsty, I want to go susu.

7. Entering the Aamir Khan as an Art teacher :
Discussion Between Aamir Khan as a teacher and
Parents:
In the film when Ram Shankar Nikumbh meets Ishaan‘s father
and asks to know the reason why he sent him away. He says:
Ram Shankar Nikumbh: Why did you send him away? Hmm..? Why?
Ishaan‘s father : We had no other option. Last year he failed in Grade3.
Can you believe it? Grade 3… and no sign of improvement. My elder
son comes first in every subject in every class but that fellow…. Ram
Shankar Nikumbh: What do you think his problem is?
Ishaan‘s father : Problem? His attitude. What else? Towards his
studies, towards everything in life. He is mischievous, disobedient,
rebellious. Does not
understand a word….
Ram Shankar Nikumbh: I am asking you his problem. You are telling

8.  Discussion Between Aamir Khan as a teacher and Parents:
Ram Shankar Nikumbh explains the problem with Ishaan that he
cannot fulfill basic requirements of learning, such as he cannot read
words, cannot understand 108 sounds of letters, their shapes, meaning
of words. All these basic needs to be understood which Ishaan cannot
fulfill. But, his father says that these are all rubbish excuses to avoid
studies as some parents are reluctant to accept that their child could
be dyslexic. It is not only important for every parent to know the
problem of their child and also to provide them emotional support and
care:
Ram Nikumbh: Caring. It is very important,
Mr.Awasthi. It has the power to heal. Like balm that soothes pain. The
child feels reassured that someone cares for him. An occasional hug,
loving kiss… just to show that I really care. ―My child, I love you. If
you have any troubles, come to me. So what if you slipped, messed
up? I am there for you.‘‘ That assurance, caring.

10. Describing the Disease:
Dyslexia Disease also known as reading disorder , is
characterized trouble with reading unrelated to problems with
overall intelligence. Different people are affected to varying
degrees. Problems may include difficulties in spelling words ,
reading quickly , writing words , sound out words in the head,
pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding
what one reads. Often these difficulties are first noticed at
school. The difficulties are involuntary and people with this
disorder have an unaffected desire to learn.
We can compile and make these entire features more concrete.

11. Describing the Disease:

12. Describing the Disease:
Ishaan is an eight-year- old child. He is poor at reading, writing
and spelling. His gross motor skills are also very poor. But his teachers
and parents think that he is a clumsy and carefree child who does not
take interest in studies. He looks lost in school. He has problems in
doing up his tie, and his shoe laces. He cannot wear his dress properly.
Thus, Taare Zameen Par presents Ishaan as a dyslexic child. But the film
does not end here. The film also talks about the solution and discusses
the role of parents and teachers.
Dyslexia is curable disorder and parents and teachers can make big
change in refining the abilities of a dyslexic child. Both teachers and
parents are best aware of the strong points and weaknesses of the child.
The first and important step for parents and teachers is to fulfill the
emotional needs of the child. In our country most of the parents are not
aware of the learning disability and that‘s why they think that their child

question (?) started feeling secure that like
Ishaan they can also get a solution.
