Question

describe your feelings and thoughts when Bayaji's house was on fire and his dreams were burnt into ashes​

Answer 1

Bayaji, a retired coolie of Bombay dockyard returned to his village by bus. He greets Bhujaba at Kadam’s house. Bhujaba become furious on him. Because Bhujaba belongs to the upper caste, Bayaji belongs to the lower caste (untouchable-mahar). Bhujaba warns him to remember the position. Bayaji reaches his home. His mother, children, grand children felt happy to see him. All of them tried to search his box, for the gifts.

He says “Look children, ours is a large family. Even at meal time, we’ve to eat by turns or set crowded, knocking our knees together. I wish to build a house out of my earnings, and it has to be a storeyed house; the usual three-portioned house won’t be adequate for us.”

They laid foundation for it.
