Answer:
Explanation:
"Bholi" is an extremely touchy story with a sensational ending written by Khwaja Ahmed Abbas.
This story is all about a village girl, Bholi. Her real name was Sulekha. This character symbolizes not only simplicity but innocence as well. At the end of the story she symbolizes boldness too.
Bholi is the daughter of village numbardar Ramlal. She stammered and had pox marks all over her body. She is made fun all through her life untill she grows wiser and gains self confidence because of her education and teacher`s training. She proved that education is like a philosopher`s stone which can turn a base metal in gold.

Answer:
Title ‘Bholi’ is for the protagonist in the story. She was called ‘Bholli’ because she had been looked upon as a simpleton since her childhood. When she was ten months old she had fallen from cot; some part of her brain had been affected consequently. She had been a slow learner and hence she came to be called Bhloi. The same girl at the end showed lots of courage and refused to marry because her father was being pestered for dowry.
