In these places Hindi is the spoken language. If Hari Singh knew how to speak English then he could have easily got a job. We also come to know that Anil starts teaching him small sentences. So, we cannot imagine the characters speaking in English to each other.

Yes, once I was travelling by train with my one of the best friend. In my compartment some school students were sitting. Meanwhile I realised that my purse is missing. I got worried as my money as well as train ticket were in the purse. Being calm, I just told them a story of a thief who had been transformed into a good human being. I don’t know what made the culprit speak the truth. The boy who had stolen my purse started crying and told me that he had done that for the treatment of his father. Taking under consideration his situation, I promised to do something for him.
Hari Singh was an uneducated fellow belonging to poor background. He also did not have much of talent. It was thus the circumstances which compelled him to steal. Since he started stealing, he had always been successful. He changed his name also continuously. So his situation turned him into a thief.

No, I don’t think that people like Anil and Hari Singh are found only in fiction. We find such people in everyday life or real life also. Such people are hardly ever found in today’s society who are actually good. If one is caught stealing, people punish him on their own or he will be handed over toRead more

It should be understood that to err is human. One chance for changing oneself must be given to everyone. This is the only way of bringing anyone to the right path. Punishing brutally is not a solution but hardship. Too much strictness can make them complete criminals.
Anil does react on it. He probably knew about the theft but did not hand the thief over to the police because he had put the money back at its place. It shows that he had realized his fault. Anil gave him one more chance and therefore forgave him. No, in today’s world most people would not have doneRead more

No, in today’s world most people would not have done so. Although it must be done but such sort of patience and compassion are rarely found now a days in this human world.
