Question

do you think the town residents show any concern for workers like Nathu, the sweeper boy in the chapter- the boy who broke the bank

Answer 1

The Boy Who Broke the Bank

In my opinion the town residents show no concern for workers like Nathu, the sweeper boy.

Explanation:

• The short story 'The Boy Who Broke the Bank' by Ruskin Bond relates to the problem of miscommunication.
• Through the character Nathu ,he reflects how fatal and disastrous the grapevine mode of communication is.
• Nathu is a poor sweeper boy. He works for the wealthy banker Seth Govind Ram at Pipalnagar town.
• Though the bank runs extremely well, Nathu is not paid his wages on time.
• This causes him to complain aloud to himself about the bank.
• Some of the town residents over hear him. They misinterpret his murmuring and grumblings and take it for granted that the Bank is in a bad condition.
• This misunderstanding takes the shape of a rumour and spreads like wild fire.
• None of the townsfolk are compassionate towards Nathu.
• They are a selfish lot interested only in their own investments.
• None of them spare a thought for Nathu. Instead they flock to the Bank and damage it demanding their savings.
• Thus I think that  the town residents will show no concern for workers like Nathu, the sweeper boy .
