could read, write and speak with clarity.
Question 3. Bholi’s real name is Sulekha. We
are told this right at the beginning. But only in
the last but one paragraph of the story is
Bholi called Sulekha again. Why do you think
she is called Sulekha at that point in the
story?
Answer: Bholi means simpleton. She never
takes her stand. She even agrees to an
unequal match for the sake of her parents.
But, towards the end of the story, when she
sees her father pleading in front of the
bridegroom and getting humiliated, she
refuses to get married. She was called
Sulekha at that point in the story. She is now
a mature and intelligent girl who is able to
take her own decisions.
