I would be talking about my least favourite character of the story. It would be Hari and Lila's father.
Hari and Lila's father is a very irresponsible man. He goes to the toddy shop everyday. Basically, he was the one who started all the problems. He caused the whole family to be disfunct. In the village of Thul, the responsibility of a father was to earn money for the family. However, in Hari and Lila's family, this was not the case.
Because of their father, they had to take up responsibility of a mother and father. He also takes Hari's hard-earned money to buy toddy. This also deprives the chance for the family to improve.
He was partly responsible for Pinto's death. It was Pinto's death that triggered Hari to escape to Bombay.
I really do not blame Hari for that. Hari was under much pressure because of his alcoholic father. After Hari escaped, Lila was left to cope alone.
In conclusion, Hari and Lila's father is the main "villain" of the story.
Please comment.
Yes... I too agree with Joel that the father is in the wrong. I am sure that many also dislikes Hari and Lila's father Good use of simple language!
