Do you think the characters in the story were speaking to each other in English? If not, in which language were they speaking? (You can get clues from the names of the persons and the non- English words used in the story.)

In this story the main characters are village Tehsildar and Numberdar, who do not seem to possess much education. The names such as Lakshmi for cow and Ramlal for head of family give reflection of rural life. In such rural background the language spoken must be Hindi or regional. It is a very new experience for Bholi to go to school and learn small English words. The dialect must be in rural accent.
