Question

This is a story of a farmer called Bansilal who lives with his family in Pandavpura village in
Karnataka.
Bansilal (to his wife): I need money to cultivate cotton as it is in demand. But I do not have
money to buy the seeds and for other agricultural expenditures.
Parvati (Bansilal's wife): Why don't you ask Muniya Bhai (the moneylender) for help?
Bansilal: No, I already owe him money that I borrowed last year. Moreover, he lends money at a
very high rate of interest.
Parvati: Oh! I heard that the bank offers loans at a lower rate of interest.
Bansilal takes a loan from the bank and starts cultivating cotton. The crop grows well and he
feels happy that he can now clear his debts by selling the produce.
Bansilal: Aha! Now, I can sell the crops at a very good rate and clear my debts.
Bansilal goes 5 the market to sell the crops and he returns home in the evening.
Parvati: What happened? Why do you look so sad?
Bansilal: The crops were sold at a very low price as the price of cotton has fallen.
A few days later, people from the bank come to Bansilal's house, and warn him and give him
two months to clear his debts. Meanwhile, Muniya Bhai also starts troubling Bansilal to return
the money borrowed from him. Bansilal sells his land to clear his debts from the bank but that
money is not sufficient and he is landless and helpless. He becomes very upset thinking about
the loan and finally commits suicide leaving behind his loans and sorrows.
