what was the sight that the narrator found amusing? was it really so?
Answers
The narrator was surprised to see a strange thing, that an elder came from the direction of the market and had a parcel in his hand. He was holding the parcel with a string and was walking strangely. The narrator laughed seeing his actions. However, this was not a funny sight because the truth was that the elderly person was from a lower caste and if that parcel was touched by his hands, for whom he was carrying this parcel, in which there were ‘vadais’, then he would not eat these ‘vadais’. , Because on touching by a person of lower caste, they would become untouchable and then do not eat those ‘vadais’ by the ‘naiker’.
Answer:
The Narrator saw an elder of her street come alone from the direction of the bazaar holding a parcel. The manner is which he was walking made her double up with laughter. The old man was holding the packet by its string, without really touching any part of the Parcel. No, it was not a funny sight because he was doing it as an 'untouchable'. Being from a lower class, had he touched the vadais, they would have been considered `polluted' and the Naicker would not have eaten the vadais.
