Tarashankar raised the basic question in this story, Mewalal says, Bhagwan's law is that the son gets the father's character, the son gets the appearance, the son gets the father's disease, the son pays the father's debt... But why does the son not get the father's farm?
The zamindar is very reluctant to register the son's name instead of the father's in the zamindar's office.
In fact, this story is the story before the zamindari eviction.
There the fate of the raiyat depends on the zamindar.
Mewalal was evicted from the land.
The farmer's life is disturbed by various brokers - Tahsildar, Munshi.
Then comes how many fruitless attempts at resistance. A deep love, a resistance to eviction.
forever
He who has his land washed away by the Ganges, sells the soil of the Ganges, sells his own soil as a means of sustenance.
He sends 10 rupees to Lachmania on the first of the month.
This story becomes so sweet.
Yes, Mewalal has become a god in the pen of a great writer.
