Nandini's views on education are for her own education. Education is not useless, but according to her education for her is useless.
I guess she sees no point in it. She sees her future in this house, with these people. She sees herself growing up and doing what other ladies in the house are doing. Cooking, cleaning and taking care of the men's needs. She probably is already skilled in all of it. Other ladies are uneducated, so the thought of her getting educated would not even enter her head.The girl she was friendly with, must have received some education before being married off by her parents. This is why she craved for more.Unlike Anandi, who had studied before being married, whose mind had been opened up to the world and its wonders by teacherjee, Nandini has not had that opportunity.Even though she sees other girls going to school, she probably thinks it is not for her...Unless she is plucked from here and put in a more open environment, she will live, grow up and die here.
