- This is Sulekha, aka Bholi, the simpleton. She is the fourth daughter of Numberdar Ramlal. When she was ten months old, she had fallen off the cot on her head and it had damaged some part of her brain due to which she remained a backward child. When she was two years old, she had an attack of small-pox. leaving her entire body disfigured by deep black pockmarks. She also stammered. The other children oftenmade fun of her and mimicked her.

- The Tehsildar sahib wants me to set an example to the villagers by sending our daughters to school.
- Are you crazy? If girls go to school, who will marry them? I will tell you what to do. Send Bholi to school. As it is, there is little chance of her getting married, with her ugly face and lack of sense. Let the teachers at school worry about her.

- Then, shall I accept Bishamber’s proposal? But he is almost the same age as I am, and he also limps. Moreover, the children from his first wife are quite grown up.
- So what? We are lucky that he is from another village and does not know about Bholi's pock-marks and her lack of sense. If we don’t accept this proposal, she may remain unmarried all her life
