What are Hari Singh’s reactions to the prospect of receiving an education? Do they change over time? (Hint: compare, for example, the thought: “I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve” with these later thoughts: ‘Whole sentences, I knew, cloud one day bring me more than a few hundred rupees. It was a simple matter to steal − and sometimes just as simple to be caught. But to be a really big man, a clever and respected man, was something else.”) What makes him return to Anil?
Answers
Answer :
Anil starts teaching Hari Singh. He tells him that he will teach him writing whole sentences and to add numbers. Hari Singh thinks he can become a big man if he becomes educated. Then there can be no end to his achievements. He can win respect also. But when he sees the bundle of notes he forgets all about education. He steals the money and runs away with it. He goes to the railway station but misses the train. He walks to a park and sits down on a bench. He begins to repent of what he has done. He realises that he could learn to read and write if he continued living with Anil.These thoughts lead him to come back to Anil.

Hari Singh’s reactions to the prospect of receiving an education undergo a change. In the beginning he thinks one thing. It is that if he wrote like an educated man he could achieve success. His later thoughts prove this change. Later he feels that if he wrote whole sentences, he would get more than a few hundred rupees. Money does not hold much attraction for him now. He wants from education to become a big man, a clever and respected man. May be Anil is his idol in that. This makes him return to Anil. It is because only Anil could teach him as he wants.
