Why is Bholi’s father worried about her?
Answer: Bholi was different from other children. She neither had good looks nor intelligence. Bholi’s father was worried about finding a good bridegroom for Bholi.
For what unusual reasons is Bholi sent to school?
Answer: The Tehsildar had ordered Bholi’s father Ramlal to send his daughters to school to set an example. Ramlal’s wife felt that sending daughters to school would impact their marriage prospects. However, she said that Bholi could be sent to school because there is anyway less chance of her getting married with such an ugly face and no intelligence. Thus, Bholi was sent to school.
