Characters of lost spring

Answer 1

ANSWER

The 'lost spring' written by Anees Jung talks about the national shame of children being forced to live a life of poverty and exploitation. The main two protagonists of the chapter, Saheb-e-Alam and Mukesh don't live their childhood as they have to carry the burden of poverty and illiteracy.

Answer 2

'The Lost Spring' by 'Anees Jung' has many characters in it which shows the different attitudes towards life.

• The protagonist of the chapter is Saheb-e-Alam.
• His name was quite ironic, the meaning of his name is Lord of the universe but he was a poor ragpicker.
• Another character in the story is Mukesh, who was a determined boy. He wanted to become a motor mechanic. He belongs to the family of poor bangle sellers.
• There is a huge difference between the two personalities, Saheb accepted ragpicking and later he worked on a tea stall and he lost his carefree look and childhood.
• Mukesh wanted to break the so-called God-given lineage and want to become a motor mechanic.

Hence, there are two main characters in the story Saheb-e-Alam and Mukesh.
