Everyone was in awe because Ranga had returned to village after six months. Ranga’s homecoming was a great event as he was the first person from his village to go to Bangalore to study. When he returned after six months, every villager rushed to his house to have a look at him. They expected his studies in Bangalore must have changed him quite a bit. There was so much of crowd gathered outside his house. Ranga came out with a smile on his face. Everyone was surprised to see that Ranga was the same as he had been six months ago, when he had first left our village. An old lady who was near him, ran her hand over his chest to ensure the janewara was still there. After finding no change in him, the crowd melted away.
Answer:
Ranga, the accountant's son, was the first person from the village to be sent to Bangalore to study. Many people did not know English then. That was why Ranga's homecoming was an excellent event. People rushed to his doorstep announcing that the accountant's son had come. They wanted to go and have a look at Ranga.
The crowd went and stood in the courtyard. They were surprised to see that Ranga was the same as he had been six month ago when he had first left the village. An old lady, who was near him ran her hand over his chest, looked into his eyes and said, since he still wore the sacred thread, it meant that he had not lost his caste. Once they realised that Ranga still had the same hands, legs, eyes and nose, they went away.
