What were the reasons of animosity between mani and rajamre
Answers
R.K.Narayan in his brlliant amusing story "Rajam and Mani" has focused on the child psychology especially the students' mental analysis by representing a trifle strife between two students--one Mani and the other Rajam.Although this text(as I analyse) implies the colonial invasion, that Rajam represents ,among Indians represented through the other boys in the class.
Rajam joins the class at the mid of a session and on his first day he wins half the battle. He was the only boy who wore socks and shoes,tie and knickers,a fur cap and smartly enters the class and sat beside Mani and felt comfortable until Mani gives him a jab in the ribs which he returned promptly.This was the first knock at Mani's permanent domineering in the class.Rajam's appearance, manner,boldness,ability of speaking English,intelligence etc, impressed the whole class and it is evident that Mani's self-made position of over lordship is shattered.Not only that,Rajam proved to be a good student too to score seventy percent regularly.Rajam acquired the natural subservience from the class may it even be from his obedient follower Swaminathan that Mmani suspects.He became a growing power to repay Mani's jabbing,clouting,kicking.This sense of loosing power poisoned Mani's mental peace and he decides killing Rajam.
After the school is over they met in a secluded spot to divulge what is in their minds where Swaminathan has to act as the cord of communication and the meeting concludes with a battle tomorrow.
