Question

Write a character sketch of ‘Hari Singh’ with the help of the following points, using the paragraph format.

Hari Singh’s background His dishonesty His aspirations His courage to change himself

Answer 1

Hari Singh was fifteen years old, but already an experienced and fairly successful thief. He used to change his name frequently so as not to get caught by his former employers, whom he must have cheated, or by the police. He even cheated Anil when he went to buy the daily supply of groceries. However, he wished to receive an education so that he could become a big, respected man who could achieve a lot.

He stole a large sum of money from Anil, but regretted it when he realised that in doing so, he had lost his only chance of getting an education. He is courageous enough to return the money, even though he knows that he may be caught in the process. However, his desire to change himself is so great that it motivates him and gives him the courage to return to Anil
