Why does the narrator call English language a priceless commodity? |
|
Answer» There was a very less number of people with the knowledge of the language in the narrator\'s village and his community was highly influenced by the language. Hence, English was considered as a priceless commodity in those days. The narrator calls English a ‘priceless commodity’. But it was not so widespread in Hosahalli. The craze of the people to see Ranga when he returned from Bangalore proves this point. They had a great respect for a person who knew English. Rama Rao told the woman selling firewood that he had no ‘change’. She couldn’t understand the meaning of even such a simple English word. |
