Critically comment on the title of Premchand’s story The Holy Panchayat bringing out the significance of the word ‘Holy?
Answers
Answer:
The central themes throughout the short story examine justice, responsibility, discernment, and friendship. Both characters, Jumman Shaikh and Algu Chowdhry, exercise discernment when they are given the responsibility of being Sarpanch, which is the head of the village council meeting. Despite being close friends with Jumman, Algu places justice above friendship by deciding in Khala's favor. Jumman is initially upset at Algu's decision and plans to seek revenge for losing his case. However, when Algu is taken to Panchayat by a deceitful and callous man named Samjhu Sahu, Jumman has his chance at revenge by being named Sarpanch. However, Jumman cannot resist his duty to enact justice and rightfully rules in favor of Algu. After the Panchayat, Algu and Jumman become friends again. Throughout the short story, both characters understand their responsibility to excuse friendships and bias in order to enact justice during the Panchayat.
“The Holy Panchayat,” by Panch Parmeshwar, refers to the court in an Indian village. At different times, two friends each serve on the panchayat and are required to judge a matter that concerns the other friend. The theme involves the relationship between friendship and justice. In the first instance, Algu is serving on the court when a case involving his old friend Jumman comes before it. This case involves a dispute between Jumman and his aunt over the terms of her will. When Algu decides in favor of the aunt, Jumman is furious, and the decision ends their friendship. During Jumman’s later term of service, Algu appears in a case concerning the sale of an ox. In this case, Jumman rules for his old friend. This decision leads them to reunite and agree that justice is a dear principle, without which friendship would be devalued.
