Answer 2

Answer:

A problem discussed in this story by Pillai is the influence of western education that is leading to loss of languages and culture.

Explanation:

This is quite apparent between the conversation between Gopal and Appa where Gopal does not know his mother tongue Malayam,the lines "Do you speak Malayalam?  I understand a little but cannot speak it"  reveals that western education and notions of formal schooling has made people progress to suit the present era but unfortunately it has led to the loss of ones own identity and sense of belonginess. Love marriage between Savitri and Gopal also show the current trend of younger generation in choosing their own partners and telling parents later on.
