Question

Describe the homecoming of Ranga. Why was it a great event in village?

Answer 1

Ranga's home coming was a great event 10 years previous to the day this story was written. In those days, nobody spoke English in the author's village. People spoke pure Kannada and did not use English words in between their speech. Thus, English was considered to be a priceless commodity in their society. Therefore, when Ranga arrived there was a rush everywhere. He was an intelligent person who was educated in English. He was the first person to be sent to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) for studies and when he came back, it was announced as a great event for the village people to celebrate that the accountant's son was back.
