Mr. Tagde, a teacher, reported the nuisance acts of Veerendra, a notorious student, to the principal. However, Veerendra's uncle was the chairman of the school committee, so Mr. Tagde faced threats of losing his job and pension. He was eventually beaten by a group including Veerendra. A compromise was later reached where Veerendra would be removed from school in a few months, on the condition that Mr. Tagde withdraw his complaint. This highlighted the conflict between a teacher fighting for principles and the political influence wielded in educational institutions.

11. Ans.: Mr. Tagde, ‘a poor insignificant teacher’,
a small thin man in his slightly yellowed dhoti
and his coat of a nondescript color and his cap.
For the last fifteen years, unchanged. A solid
teacher, a mature and rational man, suitably
diplomatic in his dealings with those in authority,
a good man to work with. Now he is well settled.
His daughter was married, two sons in good
jobs. He was to be retired only after three
years.

complain against the nuisance acts of Veerendra,
a notorious student, whose uncle was the
chairman of the school committee. (continue…)

12. (continue..) He took a principled stand. He
was threatened, beaten, had the risk of not
only loosing his job but the pension, too. His
decision made him morally a strong person.
His friends thought that it was ‘a foolish
decision’ disarrange the settled life for a
worthless boy. The wife thought if he dies
how would she, as a widow live. But, at last,
he compromised to a certain extent. The boy
was taken away from the school on condition

students. Girls complain of his obscene
remarks and threats.

acts of notorious Veerendra, whose uncle Mr.
Ramarao More was the chairman of the school
committee. It was a fight of ‘a poor insignificant
teacher’ against the rotten system where
politicians control educational institutions. In
such a system, the teacher has been threatened
not only to loose the job but the right of the
pension, too. He was literary beaten by the
group of boys led by Veerendra. It was a fight
of principle. It was a fight against powerful
authority for the powerless and rules. It was a
fight against the unworthy nuisance for morality,
dignity and graceful life of a teacher.
