Answer 2

“The Leader of Men” by Siddhartha Chowdhury is a tragic story of a poor man’s hardships in a city life with social prejudices

Explanation:

• The hero of this story is Roop Singh. The plot circles around his character. Roop Singh works as a security guard in an apartment in Patna city. Mr. Kedia, a nefarious and rich businessman  staying in the apartment where Roop Singh works as a security guard. He's affluent and nasty. Kedia doesn't like Roop Singh because he didn't let his friend without permission to go to the apartment.
• For Mr. Kedia, this is a prestigious question. So, he dislikes Roop Singh and seeks to take revenge against Roop Singh. He even found an occasion to insult Roop Singh at a party, but Roop Singh never allowed himself to be insulted and kept up his selfesteem and respect
• Mr. Sharma, Mr. Kedia's friend, also lived in that apartment. For some cause or another, he was really upset with Roop Singh. It was Kedia's old tradition to reprimand staff and servants. Yet Roop was optimistic and brave, too. He was not prepared to acknowledge Mr. Sharma's accusation that he had not done his duty
• Roop Singh who is a Rajput by lineage does whatever he can to protect his identity in the face of unfavourable social and economic conditions and retain his pride, dignity and self-worth in a tough situation to the point that his own "inherent goodness & human dignity" cannot any longer take the  rebuffs, threats and insults of  materialistic Kedia.  He seeks to eliminate both himself and the world around him through his anguish and hurt.  
• However, Roop Singh’s impairment to himself is of a permanent nature both physically and with regard to the wider economic implications for himself & his family. yet nobody is bothered about it.
• The narrator having seen Roop Singh thinks Roop Singh was man of honesty and integrity and was self esteemed. He understood that Roop Singh did his duty with utmost loyalty and he was one of the best security guard that  he had come across
• As the story progresses, the narrator learns about Roop Singh, his Rajput lineage, his poverty, his education, his habit of reading of books and his interest to keep up with the pace of the world around him through newspapaers. As Kedia accuses Roop Singh of something bad, Roop Singh stops saluting Kedia, once again a sign of his Rajput and pride. But being Roop Singh, the narrator knew Roop Singh would undoubtedly avoid greeting Kedia, even if he had belonged to a different caste.
• Before the narrator gets acquainted with Roop Singh, his attitude, his sincerity in the execution of his duties are stunning him. Roop Singh’s dignity comes not only by its physical description but also by his fearlessness toward Kedia, as the former thinks he is treated wrongfully.
• Unlike Kedia, narrator Ritwik is an enlightened, informed and responsive person, though belongs to the same social class as Kedia. This is why, he is able to look at the whole situation with empathy & support Roop Singh. The other big factor in the centre is the increasing empathy, an empathy that almost borders on the narrator and Roop Singh 's relationship. Although RoopSingh did not salute Kedia which was was a sign of mistrust on the side of Roop Singh, for the writer, it was a token of his "respect & positive attitude" when Roop Singh stopped saluting him. The narrator and Roop SIngh share information about each other, spend time together at night, and even the narrator lent his books to Roop Singh which he read with great interest.
