Dear name,
I appreciate your feelings expressed in your letter about Thanappa. I agree with you that Thanappa has committed an offence. But I don’t think I should complain against him for his dereliction of duty.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
It was Thanappa who himself confessed his offence. But his understanding, loyalty and above all, humaneness outweigh his offence. He did what a father would do. Perhaps, if I had been in his place, I could have done the same. How much he is moved by something bad happening to Malgudi people is known to all! He is a part and parcel of Malgudi’s soul. Be it any good or bad happening with anybody in Malgudi. Thanappa is there to show his concern.
Thanappa is a postman but in human values, he is matchless. I value his human relationship more than professional responsibility. This is my personal outlook. I may be wrong but I cannot complain against Thanappa.
Yours affectionately
Name
