Question

(ii) Who was Sangu Thevan? What was Muthachi told about him?​

Answer 1

Sangu Thevan was a robber. The goldsmith told Mutachi that Sangu Thevan had robbed Chettiar, a local pawn shop owner, of his money when he was returning home.

Explanation:

Sangu Thevan did not rob Mutachi although she told him about the earrings which she was carrying with her .Rather when he heard about her daughter’s wedding he gave her a bag of gold coins as a gift for her daughter and asked her to name her first grandchild after him. We can thus conclude that he was kind and generous to Mutachi.
