Question

Answer the following question in 30-40 words:

Why did the landlord's man ask Bama’s brother on which street he lived?

Answer 1

The landlord’s man asked Bama’s brother, Annan, about his street to determine his caste. Since the village was segregated by community, knowing the street was a direct way to identify if he belonged to an untouchable group, reflecting the deep-rooted caste discrimination of that time.
