Question

Why was the village accountant called courageous by the author

Answer 1

Ranga's Marriage is an interesting story of how a person manipulates to get a young boy married in a village.

The story dates back to the early days of British rule when English was not used in a big way. Rangappa, the son of a village accountant returns from Bangalore after his studies.

Ranga was sent to Bangalore, to do his higher studies.Years before, the situation in the village was different. People never used English words, they spoke only in their mother toungue.

The narrator here highlights it by saying that the village accountant was the first person, who had courage to send his son to Bangalore to study.
