4. How does the thief think Anil will react to the theft?
The thief thought that on discovering the theft, Anils face would show a touch of
sadness. The sadness would not be for the loss of money, but for the loss of trust.
5. What does he say about the different reactions of people when they are robbed?
In his short career as a thief, he had made a study of mens faces when they lost
their goods. He said that the greedy men showed fear; the rich men showed anger
and the poor men showed acceptance.
8. Why does not Anil hand the thief over to the police? Do you think most people
would have done so? In what ways is Anil different from such people?
Anil does not hand the thief over to the police because he has put the money back
at its place. It shows that he realized his fault. He wants to make amends for his
ways. He must have felt guilty with himself. Anil wants to give him one more
chance and therefore forgives him.
No, in todays world most people would not have done so. Although it must be
done but such sort of patience and compassion are rarely found now a days in this
human world.
9. Do you think people like Anil and Hari Singh are found only in fiction, or are there
such people in real life?
No, I dont think that people like Anil and Hari Singh are found only in fiction. There
are such people in real life also. Although such people are rare in todays society.
If one is caught stealing, people will first beat him severely. Then he will be
handed over to the police. It should be realized that a human being is bound to
commit error. One chance for reforming oneself must be given. This is the only
way to bring anyone to right path. Punishing severely is not the only solution.
Strictness can make them absolute criminal.
