Question

what is the role of shastri in ranga's marriage?

Answer 1

Shastri played a very key role in Ranga’s marriage. The author made a very elaborate plan to get Ranga married to Ratna. First of all, he cleverly orchestrated their meeting at his own house. Secondly, he took his friend, the Shastri into his confidence and instructed him to do and say certain things to Ranga. He planned a meeting with Shastri and made it appear as natural meeting. During the meeting Shastri said Ranga’s cause of worry was a girl whose name should resemble something found in the sea such as pearl (Ratna); Ranga agreed to it and thus their marriage was fixed. The plan clicked. Within no time both Ranga and Ratna were married. Their marriage was quite successful.
