Question

Please give the summary of chapter Ranga 's Marriage ?

Answer 1

Like many other cultural aspects artistically portrayed by the author the custom of child marriage too is typical to this village. Ten years ago when the village accountant sent his son Ranga to Bangalore for studies, the situation in the village was different. People never used to use English words while talking.It is how the narrator, Shyama, found a girl for Ranga and a boy for Ratna. Ranga was a young man from the narrator’s village Hosahalli, Karnataka. When Ranga returned from Bangalore after his studies, the narrator thought it was time the young man got married. But Ranga refused to marry because he believed that child marriage is an evil. He therefore wanted to remain bachelor till he found a mature woman to marry.

But the narrator wanted to prove that romance could win over Ranga’s theories. The narrator brought a cute, young girl to Ranga’s notice and saw that Ranga loved her and fell in love instantly.

Because Ranga had said that he could not marry a small girl, he could not openly admit that he loved Ratna. However, Ranga was sad and distressed. To make him openly admit his love for Ratna, the narrator brought Ranga to an astrologer. As planned earlier, the astrologer made fake calculations and said Ranga was sad because he was in love with a girl called Ratna. Unaware of what the narrator and the astrologer had conspired against him, Ranga confessed his love.
