Do you believe a Pader had a significant role to play in the lives of the people of Goa? Give reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: The pader or baker was an important person in the Goan village as well as in the author's life. He used to mix, mould and bake the loaves of bread in age-old, tested furnaces. He used to come twice a day, once in the morning to sell the bread and then while returning after emptying his basket.
