Answers
CHAPTER : THE ADVENTURE
Professor Gaitonde or Gangadharpant was the historian who had a great passion for reading Indian history. In this chapter, he read the five volumes of Indian History in which he was seeking the reason of defeat of Maratha's by Abdali troop. He had faced a different kind of democracy in Ancient India. He experienced a subconscious past world while living in the present.
"""Professor Gaitonde is very well known and respected in his field, history. He is an eminent public figure, and he likes presiding over seminars.
He, however, has too much pride as he thinks that most everyone who has read about public history or attended any public function will know him. He maintains meticulous records of all the public services he goes to which shows he's a little vain.
