why does the narrator call Indian geographer a flock of sheep
Answers
Answer:
In the description there might have been some misunderstanding on part of the reader because, "the Indian geographer has not been called a flock of sheep", by the narrator.
Infact, the author gave an example, a connotation. The narrator stated that when a sheep heads in a direction the herd, i.e. the rest of the flock of sheep tends to follow that one sheep without any logic. It does so blindly. This is used as an example to develop a relationship between how nobody mentioned the name of the village where Ranga used to live. This was the village called Hosahalli and since during that period of time, books were written by such cartographers who weren't much fond with such names, they forgot to mention the name of that village. That is the reason why people over here didn't know it either and thus didn't mention it in the map.
