One morning as I had just started writing the seventeenth chapter of my novel, Mini walked into the room and began, 'Dad, our sentry Ramdayal doesn't even know how to pronounce the word "crow." He is so backward
Answer:
Mini’s father and the story’s unnamed first-person narrator and protagonist. The events of this story largely take place in the narrator’s study and just outside of his house. The narrator describes himself as a “Bengali Babu,” a respectful title that implies that he is financially comfortable, educated, and respected in his hometown of Calcutta, India. The narrator loves his only child, Mini, who is five years old at the beginning of the story. While the narrator’s wife finds Mini’s constant chatter tiring, the narrator loves to listen to his daughter prattle away about all sorts of topics. The narrator is a writer, and is working on his novel when the story starts. The novel is an adventure story, which reflects his own curiosity about different places and people around the world. The narrator has never had the opportunity to leave Calcutta, hence his fascination with such faraway places, though he also admits that he’s a homebody. The narrator is friendly with Rahamat because he enjoys seeing him laughing with Mini when he visits, and because Rahamat tells him stories about life in Afghanistan and what he’s seen on his travels as a fruit vendor, or Kabuliwala. Despite his interest in Rahamat, the narrator is quick to forget him after Rahamat is sent to jail. Years later, when the man shows up unannounced after being released from prison, the narrator tries to get rid of him as fast as possible, thinking of him as a criminal rather than as his daughter’s childhood companion and not wanting to be bothered on Mini’s wedding day. It’s only after Rahamat reveals that he also has a beloved daughter Parvati, back in Afghanistan, that the narrator recognizes that they have far more in common than he originally thought. Having established this personal and emotional connection with him, the narrator gives Rahamat money from Mini’s wedding fund to help him get back to Afghanistan and be reunited with his family.
