describe swami relationship with his friends
Answers
Hello ,
In 1930, India, like much of South Asia, was still under British rule. In learning about the town on Malgudi, readers are introduced to Swaminathan and his friends, a group which includes Somu, Sankar, Mani, and Pea. The five have a very close friendship, despite their differences, which doesn't seem to follow the phrase, "Birds of a feather flock together".
The friend group is introduced to Rajam, the son of a new police officer in Malgudi. At first, no one in the group wants to accept him as a friend, but eventually Swaminathan and Mani do. This upsets Somu, Sankar, and Pea, and begins the degradation of their previously inseparable bond.
One day, Swaminathan decides to join a nationalist mob to protest the British that occupy India. The mob, violent in nature, inspires Swami to throw a rock through the window of his superintendent's office. Rajam's father catches Swami, and punishes him. He is forced to switch schools, and overall his life changes for the worse. However, Rajam eventually forgives him.
To ease the tension between them, Rajam starts a cricket team called M.C.C. The team has practices before Swami's new school lets out, so Rajam quickly becomes infuriated. He says that Swami cannot miss a match with another local team, Y.M.U., or else he will not speak to Swami any more.
The headmaster of Swami's school, of course, does not allow him to leave early for the cricket game. In anger, he throws his cane out the window. Not wanting to know what will happen next, he runs out of the building and away from the town of Malgudi. He gets lost in his adventure, but is eventually found.
In the final scene, Rajam is on a train leaving for another area in India. Swami tries to convince him, with the help of Mani, that they should stay friends, but Rajam refuses to look at him.
