The character of Sir Mohan Lal and Lachmi
Q.NO. – 1:- Sketch the character of Sir Mohan Lal.
ANS:- In the short story “Karma” Khushwant Singh has elaborately sketched the character of Sir Mohan Lal. He was eminently well bred, well dressed, and sophisticated. He embraced the English ways and culture. He saw himself as an Englishman. He took his education at Oxford. To him Indians were dirty, inefficient, indifferent and place. He thought Indians were showed examples of bad breeding with their excitement, bustle and hurry but he never made haste, and his life was very regulated and orderly. He was not loud , aggressive like most Indians.
In view of his personality and image, Sir Mohan Lal appeared to be snobbish and proud. He disliked Indian culture and tradition. His wife was uncivilized, dirty and an ordinary Indian woman to him. So he didn’t spend too much time with his wife Lachmi. He blindly intimated and practiced European culture and tradition in his life. He thought he was ashamed of being a native of India. All these reveal that he was nothing but a hypocrat.

Q.NO. – 2:- Sketch the character of Lachmi (Lady Lal).
Ans:- Lachmi is portrayed as a native woman right from the moment she introduced in the story. She is an ordinary Indian woman. She wears a dirty white sari with red border. Lachmi is simple and unsophisticated. The brass tiffin carrier having cramped chapattis and mango pickle shows her nativity.. When she begins conversing with the coolie, it is understood that she does not discriminate between a rich and a poor. It also clear that she is fond of a little gossip. She has no superior airs about her. She is uneducated and she has no knowledge of English Manner. She is pious. Her illiterate relatives are disliked by her husband It shows that she passively obeys her husband. She is resigned to the fact that she may not be allowed to enter into the blue-blooded world of her husband, yet she bears no grudge for this. She is the representative of native Indian women dominated by their husbands. Finally her sending a red dribble across like a dart concludes her disregard for western mannerism as well as so-called urban sophistication.
