Answer:
Shyama, the narrator of the story, “Ranga's Marriage” is a person who is too attached to his soil and his village. . He is an elderly gentleman and refers to himself as a dark piece of oil cake. He is passionately in love with his village therefore, When the story starts, he takes the reader on a tour of his village, Hosahalli, explaining the specialties of it. He does not believe in the English culture.
He tells how 10 decades ago there was no such culture and how he thinks that the language has changed the atmosphere totally. How a distinction has descended between those who speak English and those who do not. Shyama is person who respects a person who believes in her/his culture; for example, when Ranga payed homage to him, he bowed down and touched Shyama's feet as a namaskar.
This made Shyama happy that even after studying away from home Ranga had not forgotten his roots. Even though Ranga was an educated boy and was determined to get married to a girl who is mature enough, Shyama arranged to get him married to Ratna, who was much younger and not at all the kind of girl he would have married. He also arranges a meeting with Shastri whom he had tutored thoroughly.
He had decided that Ratna would be a suitable bride for him, this shows his beliefs in arrange marriage and also that he was a determined person who always got done what he had decided. He was a person who strongly believed in his tradition and culture.
