First paragraph
Krishnagopal Sarkar of Jhinkrakota left the zamindari and household burden to his eldest son and left for Kashi. All the orphans and poor people of the country started wailing for him. Such generosity, such devotion is not seen in Kaliyuga, everyone started saying this.
His son Bipinbehari is currently a Sushiti B.A. Beard, glasses, don't mix with anyone. Atishaya Saccharitra – even, don't even eat tobacco, don't even play cards. Looks like a very nice guy, but the guy is very tough.
His subjects soon felt it. The old owner was safe, but he did not expect to get a single paise concession on the rent. One day of fixed period does not get from here and there.
Bipinbehari saw that his father had given away land to many Brahmins without rent and the number of people he had reduced the rent to was no longer counted. If someone asked him for something, he could not refuse to fulfill it - that was one of his weaknesses. Bipinbehari said, 'This can never happen; I cannot give away half the zamindari to Lakheraj.' The following two arguments arose in his mind.
First of all, most of the idle people who sit at home and enjoy the ownership of these lands are wretched and unworthy of mercy. Such donations only indulge in laziness in the country.
Secondly, livelihood has become very scarce and precious now compared to the time of his parents. The shortage has increased. Now it costs four times as much to save a gentleman's self-respect. Therefore, as his father has spread all the flowers with his two hands, it will not work anymore, but he should try to collect them and bring them home again.
He began to do as duty told him. He started with a principle.
What had gone out of the house, it started to return to the house little by little. He retained the very little of the Father's gift, and what he kept he made such that it should not be regarded as a permanent gift.
While Krishnagopala was in Kashi, he could hear the cries of the people in correspondence - some even went near him and fell down crying. Krishnagopal wrote to Bipinvihari that the work was being taken up.
Bipinbehari wrote in reply that, 'Earlier, just as donations were given, there were various types of debts. At that time there was reciprocity between the zamindar and the subjects.Recently a new law has completely stopped all five types of dues other than fair rent, and other honorable rights of the zamindar have gone away besides just collecting rent - so what if I don't keep a hard eye on my fair dues these days. Now the people will not give me anything extra, nor will I give them anything extra – now we have only a relationship of indebtedness. If you want to give alms, you will have to pay the tax, it will become difficult to protect the affairs and the honor of the clan.
Krishnagopal used to get very worried about so many changes of time and thought, 'The boys of today are doing things suitable for the present time, our rules of that time will not work now. If I sit back and interfere in this, they will say, but take back your matter, we cannot keep it. What's the matter, Bapu, if I can spend these few days doing Harinam somehow, I'll live.'
Second section
This is how it worked. Bipin Bihari managed to sort out all of them almost like a single mind after making a fuss of many lawsuits and cases.
Many of the subjects submitted fearfully, but only Ashimddi Biswas, son of Mirzabibi, did not budge at all.
Bipin Behari's anger is more than anything else. The brahmatra of a Brahmin makes sense, but why these Muslim-sons enjoy so much land as barren and low-tax is not understood. A little young widow's son has learned to read and write for two semesters in the village boarding school, but thanks to your good fortune he does not receive anyone.
Bipin was able to inform the old employees that they had actually been receiving favors since the time of the master. But, they cannot determine any particular reason for this grace. I think, the orphan widow expressed her grief and evoked the Lord's mercy.
But, to Bipin this favor appeared to be most undeserved. Especially Bipin did not see their previous poor condition, now seeing their excess of wealth and insufficient pride, Bipin felt as if they had cheated his kind-weak simple father and stolen a part of their affairs.
Achimaddi is also a young man of arrogant nature. He said, "Even if I lose my life, I will not give up a mole of my rights." A heavy war broke out on both sidesAchimadi's widow mother repeatedly explained to her son that there is no need to work with the zamindar, it is his duty to rely on the grace of the one whose grace he spent so long - let's leave something like the zamindar's prayer.
Achimadi said, "Mother, you do not understand all these things."
Aschimaddi started losing one by one in the lawsuit. But the more he lost, the more stubborn he became. He bet everything for his everything.
Mirza Bibi met Bipinbabu secretly one evening with a few gifts from the gardener. The old woman, as if by her compassionate maternal gaze, lovingly shook Bipin's hands and said, "You are my father, may God bless you." Father, don't waste Ashim, it will not be your religion. I have given him into your hands – accept him as a helpless younger brother who is absolutely devoted to you – do not be dismayed, Father, because he has received a small particle of your infinite riches.”
Bipin became very upset to see the old woman coming to escape the house with him due to the natural profundity of old age. He said, "You are a girl, you don't understand all these things. If you have anything to say, send your son.”
Mirza Bibi heard from both his own son and the next son, he understood nothing of the matter. Remembering Allah's name and wiping her eyes, the widow returned home.
Third section
The case went from criminal to civil, from civil to the district court, from the district court to the High Court. A year and a half passed like this. When Achimaddi was deeply in debt, he got a partial victory in the appellate court.
But, the water crocodile that escaped from the mouth of the Danga tiger attacked him. Mahajan understood the time and made a decree. A day was fixed for the auction of all the assets of Achimaddi.
That day is Monday, market day. A small riverside market. The river is full during monsoon. In some boats and in some boats, there is no end to the trade. Among the commodities, the import of jackfruit is the most during this month, and hilsa fish is also sufficient. The sky is overcast; Many vendors have put a cloth over it with bamboo beads in fear of rain.
Achimaddi has also come to market - but, he has not a single penny, and no one sells him on loan these days. He has brought a knife and a brass plate in his hand, and will borrow it in pledge. Bipinbabu has gone out to get some fresh air in the afternoon, accompanied by two or three people walking with sticks. Attracted by the color, he wanted to visit the market once.
Entering the market, Dwari was curiously asking Kalu about his income, when Achimddi took up a knife and came running towards Bipinbabu roaring like a tiger. The bazaar caught him halfway and disarmed him at once – he was promptly handed over to the police and the bazaar resumed business as usual.
It cannot be said that Bipinbabu was not happy with this incident. The one whom we want to hunt, who will come to paw at us, such rudeness and rudeness is unbearable. In any case, the son should be punished according to his bad behavior.
The daughters of Bipin's Anthappur were shocked to hear the incident of Ajika. All of them said, "Mom, where are you Bazzat Haramzada Betta.They took great comfort in the prospect of his due punishment.
At that evening, the widow's foodless sonless home became dark beyond death. This matter was forgotten by all, ate, slept, slept—to an old woman alone it became the greatest of all events in the world, and there was no one in all the world to fight with it, only a few worn bones and a sigh at the edge of a lightless cottage. scared heart
Fourth Section
Three days have already passed. The date of trial has been fixed before the Deputy Magistrate tomorrow. Bipin will also have to go to testify. The landlord has never had to stand on the witness stand before, but Bipin has no objection to it.
The next day, wearing a turban, wearing a watch chain, riding a palanquin, Bipinbabu went to Kachari in a grand ceremony. There are no more people in Ezlas today. Such a big scandal has not happened in the court for a long time.
When there was no more delay in the litigation, a Barkandaj came and said something in Bipinbabu's ear - he was shocked and said 'it is necessary' and came out.
When he came out, he saw his old father standing on a terrace some distance away. Bare feet, a namabali on the body, a garland of Harinam in the hand, the thin body is like a soft celestial body. A quiet grace radiates from the forehead into the world. Bipin bowed to him with pain in chapkan jobba and tight pantaloons. The turban came down on the nose, the watch fell out of the pocket. Taking them in a hurry, he asked his father to enter the nearby lawyer's house.
Krishnagopal said, "No, I have said what I said here." Bipin's attendants kept the curious crowd away.
Krishnagopal said, "Achim will be acquitted and will be given back the property you took from him."
Bipin was surprised and asked, “That is why you have come so far from Kashi? Why is your favor so much after them.
Krishnagopal said, "What will you gain by hearing that, Bapu."
Bipin did not leave; He said, "How many people's donations have I taken back judging by incompetence, how many Brahmins were among them, you did not encroach on any of them - and you have persevered so far for this Muslim child!" After doing so much today, if I finally have to acquit Ashim and return everything, what will I say to the people."
How long Krishnagopal remained silent. Finally, turning the garland on his trembling fingers, he said in a slightly trembling voice, "If you think it necessary to open up to the people, then say, Achimuddin is your brother, my son."
Bipin was startled and said, "In Yavni's womb?"
Krishnagopal said, “Yes, Bapu.”
Bipin remained stunned for a long time and said, "All that will be done later, now you go home."
Krishnagopal said, “No, I will not enter the house again. I left here now. Now do whatever you feel is right in your religion.” After saying the blessing, he went back to the cave trembling with tears.
Bipin did not know what to say or do. She stood silently. But, this only dawned in his mind, such was the religious devotion of that time. You felt superior to your father in education and character. Decided, this is the result of not having a principle.
When he returned to the court, he saw a thin, dry white-lipped, bright-eyed Ashim standing outside wearing a dirty rag, locked in the hands of two guards. He is Bipin's brother!
Bipin was friendly with the Deputy Magistrate. The litigation got stuck in a mess. And Ashim also recovered within a short time. But he could not understand the reason, other people were also surprised. It was not delayed from the state that Krishnagopal was present during the trial. Everyone started muttering.
Astute lawyers have assumed everything. Ramtaran Ukil was educated by Krishnagopal at his own expense. He had always suspected it, but by now he fully understood that all the saints were caught if a thorough search was made. "He who chants as many garlands as I am, is like me in the world." The difference between saints and infidels in the world is that the saints are hypocritical and the insincere are sincere. Be that as it may, Krishnagopal's world-famous daya dharma magnificence was all a lie, as if Ramtaran had solved a long-standing problem and, I don't know according to what logic, the burden of gratitude seemed to lighten. Great relief.
