Question

Answer the following question in about 40-50 words:

Based on your understanding of the story, how do you assess Bholi’s father? (Bholi)

Answer 1

Bholi’s father, Ramlal, is conservative and self‑interested, more concerned with family honour and marriage prospects than Bholi’s wellbeing; he neglects and undervalues her, sends her to school only reluctantly and is easily swayed by social pressure and greed at the wedding.
