Answer:

We learn about Satpute’s early life, before she got married. Though from a poor family

she studied till class VIII, which was more than her siblings could manage. She narrates how

she would do all kinds of housework and also help her mother sell vegetables. Satpute remembers

how she would wait for her sister to return from her job as a house maid so that she could eat

the chappatis she brought. The stale chappati becomes a recurrent symbol of Satpute’s deprivation.

As she says,

“…From my childhood I have been eating other people’s chappatis and till

today I do it. I’m used to it now.” (p. 39)

When it was time to marry her, her parents found it difficult to find a groom. They did

not hesitate to tell her that since she was dark and fat, no one would wish to marry her. After

three boys had rejected Satpute, her parents married her to the first fellow who would accept

her, a cobbler from Mumbai. They did not worry about the fact that Anil Satpute was much

Explanation:

poorer than they were. Don’t miss the resentment in her narrative. Satpute believes that it was

her parents’ anxiety to marry her that condemned her to a life of poverty. Whereas her sisters

and brothers are all well-settled, with large homes and cars, she is forced to clean other

people’s houses. To retain the force of the anger in Satpute’s account, the writer quotes it in

the original Hindi, though a translation has been added alongside.

‘Sab ameer hai, sab ke paas chaar kamron ka flat hai, car hai, scooter hai.

Meri hi zindagi kharab hai.’ (They are all rich. They have four-room flats,

cars, scooters. Only my life is spoilt.)

(p. 40)

At the same time she is proud of her relatively richer relatives and even has a photograph

of her sister on the wall of her flat. While her sisters managed to get good jobs with the help

of their husbands, Satpute’s illiterate husband pushed her into domestic work, even though she

had received some basic education. Anil Satpute does not exert himself or work hard to

increase his income and is content to sit and earn whatever little he can. Satpute is different and

wants to improve the lives of her children, but she is alone in this desire. She gets no appreciation

for all her hard work and sacrifices and has to listen to her husband’s nagging.

Explanation:

‘SoleProvider, Lonely Warrior’ is based on the story of an Indian domestic woman, Anita Satpute, who not only has to keep her marriage but also face the domestic problems of her home, and living a life full of compromises

Now the character of Saroj Chawla is about a lady who is fixing a marriage of her aged son with a retired Colonel daughter and in her view a successful candidate for her son is not the one who loves her but who is rich
