Answer :
I think she questions the traditions in a couple ways. Firstly when her two eldest sisters are married off, they are given great gifts but when her and her last older sister are married, they are married into a lower social class and recieve little gifts. She also dipises that she came from a wealthy home and married a farmer and many of her relatives call it a disgrace. She questions the traditions when she has a girl first and then does not a have a second (as of chapter 3) so her husband Nathan does not have a son to take care of the land after him.
She does follows the traditions when she does not call her husband by name but only by "husband". This is expected of women no matter the class they are in. In the story she also is married off to man who she doesnt know which is customary to the Indian culture. Lastly, I'd say she does draws upon the way of life there when she helps deliver her neighbor's wife's child.
sorry its kinda long but it is basically what I wrote for my english class.
Hope this helps and please mark as brainliest if it does!

Answer:
Life was rapidly changing for Indian farmers during the time "Nectar In A Sieve" was written. The expansion of central government control and industrialization intruded tragically on their traditional farming lifestyle. Traditional Indian living included trading crops: this is how they created an income, and how they sustained their lifestyle; it was all they knew. So when greater governmental control expanded to India, and industrialization expanded, things started happening like the government seizing farmers' land. Without this, land farmers were not able to grow and produce crops to sell or trade for the things they needed to survive. Including less food to eat. So farmers were struggling to survive as all these new ways of life were intruding on their traditional lifestyles, and because the agricultural way of life was all they were taught was hard for farmers to adapt to the new industrialized changes. The book follows the personal story of a farmer and his personal struggle with adapting to the changing world around him. As well as it impacted his family and added stress this made on his life.
