The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:

"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."

Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.

advise south african youth on two preventive measures that can help in combating risk behaviour and provide 2 practical examples
Troyanec [42]
Risky behavior is when young people engage in drinking, gambling, smoking or sexual activities.
There are various measures that can be taken to avoid it. In my opinion Sports and arranging for their playgrounds in an attractive way is the first and foremost measure that can be taken. Their energies can easily be channelized to positive sports activities.<span>
Community works as well as engaging in effective counseling can be another measure which will not help the youth but through community work a beautiful society can also be formed.</span>
