Answer:

In the Guide the lack of rains and subsequent drought have serious implications for the villagers—who rely on the rains for their livelihood of farming and cattle herding. The fact that the villagers turn to Raju for explanations suggests the esteem that they hold him in; Raju has become a kind of father figure to whom the villagers turn in times of trouble.
