how is the dalit culture described in the shroud
Answers
Explanation: The writer has shown a stereotypical depiction of dalits as lazy, work shrinkers, thieves, inhuman as most of the story revolves around the protagonists Gheesu and Madhav who seem so indifferent to laters wife thrashing around in pain of child birth whilst they eat potatoes ,laze around and peacefully sleep not even bothering to go inside to look after Budhiya.
They went so far as to coax out money from the zamindar and other money lenders on the pretext of his wife’s death only to spend the money on wine and food giving dull-witted reasons for justifying their actions such as how budhiya is looking after them even in death which would earn her a reward and the atrocities of the rich on poor instead of buying a shroud for the dead.
Answer:
The shrouds(Kaafan)
Explanation:
The Shrouds, originally published in Hindi as (kaafan), is a short story written by Munshi Premchand in 1936 that was later translated into English. The story is set in a rural setting. Premchand has characterised dalit as inhumane, with the protagonist Ghisu and Madhav ignoring budhiya in labour pain to continue eating the meal that they stole and ultimately she dies. It portrays them as selfish people for instance when Madhav and Ghisu didn't cared Budhiya and let her die. And this callous attitude crosses all borders when they go out in the countryside to collect some money for shroud, but instead of shroud, they bring themselves wine and food and enjoy it, Even thanking Budhiya for it. They are portrayed as helpless, such as when Madhav says after Budhiya's death that if they had five rupees sooner, they would have bought some medicines for her. They didn't even had enough money to buy food, as evidenced by the fact that they stole potatoes from someone's farm. It represents the social situation they are in.
