the role and character of Algu Chaudhary on Premchand's. The Holy Panchayat
Answers
Explanation:
As was mentioned in the previous post, the central themes throughout the short story examine justice, responsibility, discernment, and friendship. Both characters, Jumman Shaikh and Algu Chowdhry, exercise discernment when they are given the responsibility of being Sarpanch, which is the head of the village council meeting. Despite being close friends with Jumman, Algu places justice above friendship by deciding in Khala's favor. Jumman is initially upset at Algu's decision and plans to seek revenge for losing his case. However, when Algu is taken to Panchayat by a deceitful and callous man named Samjhu Sahu, Jumman has his chance at revenge by being named Sarpanch. However, Jumman cannot resist his duty to enact justice and rightfully rules in favor of Algu. After the Panchayat, Algu and Jumman become friends again. Throughout the short story, both characters understand their responsibility to excuse friendships and bias in order to enact justice during the Panchayat.
