Leela’s Friend – Important Questions and Answers. Descriptive or Broad Questions for class XI Students of West Bengal, WBCHSE.
1. Who was Sidda? How was he treated in the house of Sivasankers?
Ans: In the story “Leela’s Friend” by R.K. Narayan, Sidda was the servant in Mr. Sivasanker’s house.
In spite of being responsible, good-natured and a man of immaculate character, Sidda was badly treated by Mr. and Mrs. Sivasanker. Mrs. Sivasanker abused him without any reliable reason. Ahough he was innocent and good, he had to tolerate insult. Though he did not steal the chain, the inspector called him a devil. Mrs. Sivasanker also called him a thief. He was sacked from his job without any valid reason. In this way Sidda got injustice. The rich may do injustice to him, the law may treat him unjustly, but he would live for ever being an embodiment of humanity in the minds of the grief-stricken readers.
2. “Day by day she clung closer to Sidda” -How did Leela cling closer to Sidda day by day?
Ans: Leela’s attachment for Sidda increased day by day because she got everything she desired from Sidda. Leela liked to play the teacher to Sidda and Sidda agreed to be her obedient student. She insisted on his learning a few letters and Sidda underwent the drudgery of learning. When he felt such pressure unbearable, he diverted her attention. He would say to her that her mother was calling her. Leela failed to understand his trick. She was, however, very happy to be with Sidda. Even she was lulled to sleep by the fantastic and surprising stories of Sidda. Thus, she clung closer to Sidda day by day. She accompanied him whern he was chopping wood or tending the garden. She was also with him when he was sent on errands. She was so happy with him that she always wanted his company for all her waking hours.
