Drastic change in bholi's life
Answers
Denial of marrying Bishamber Nath:
✴️ The second incident which changed her life was her refusal of marrying Bishamber Nath.
✴️ As he was demanding money in the form of dowry, Bholi denied to marry her by throwing the garland in the fire.
✴️ This brave move saved herlife from falling into the hands of greedy men.
Sulekha had been referred to as Bholi as she was a little behind her peer group in her mental attributes, owing to a part of brain being damaged due to a fall when she was ten months old. She had pock-marks and looked ugly. Her speech was faulty and she stammered while speaking and was ridiculed for it. She had no encouragement or support from her parents and consequently she was a timid girl with low self-esteem and totally devoid of confidence.
At school, it was with her teachers encouragement that she regained her confidence and developed courage for herself.
The transformation is evident when she refuses to marry Bishamber, who being greedy and selfish commanded no respect from her. At the end, she is referred to as Sulekha as a mark of respect for her rejuvenated spirit and confidence. She got determined to be a teacher in the school where she had gained a lot. She deserves the honor for her wisdom and sensibility to support her parents in their old age.
