Coolie
( After M.R. Anand )
The progressive writer and scientist of India Mulk Radj Anand was born in 1905, December 12 in the town Peshavari.
The last day at home.
Munoo had been watching the cattle on the bank of the bees and had begun to play with the boys while the cattle lay in the low waters of the river when his aunt called him.
“Munoo! Oh, Munoo! Where are you? Come back you of the evil star. Your uncle is leaving soon and you must go to the town!” shouted she from the veranda of a little hut, which stood a hundred meters away from the village.
Munoo heard , but he did not answer. He only came out from under the tree.
“Munoo! Oh, Munoo!” she called again. “Where have you gone, you good-for-nothing orphan ? You come home and go away!”
“Your aunt is calling you?” said the son of the village land-lord. “Don’t you hear, you savage? Why don’t you answer her?”
“You mustn’t call Munoo a savage because he does not go home when his aunt calls him,” said another boy. “He goes to school and in summer he watches the cattle, and you don’t do anything. You don’t even want to go to school though your father gives you pocket money. Is it true that that you are going away to town, Munoo?”
“Yes, I’m going away this morning,” replied the boy.
“But you are only fourteen years old, and you haven’t finished school!”
“My uncle says it is time for me to earn my living. He has got a job for me in
the house of the Babu of the bank where he works in Shampur.”
“It must be nice to live in Shampur,” said the landlord’s son, but Munoo did not want to speak to the boy. He had not forgotten that it was this boy’s father who had taken five acres of land from his father because he could not pay for the land in time. And he knew that his father had diedin great proverty and left his mother without a penny when Munoo was still a little child. He remembered how hard his mother had worked day and night and he could never forget her as she lay dead on the ground with a terrible expression on her face.
“Will you never come back?” asked one of the boys.
“No, never; I don’t want to come back, “answered Munoo. But in his heart he did not yet want to go to town through his aunt beat him more than he beat his cattle.
He had dreamed of all the wonderful things which the village people spoke about when they came back from towns. He wanted very much to see the machines he had about in his textbook, but he wanted to go to town when he had passed all his exams here and was ready to learn to make machines. No, he didn’t want to go yet, because it was pleasant to be here with the boys of his age, to play “You catch me only in the air”, jumping like a monkey from one tree to another, to lie under the tree watching the cattle and eat some fruit.
“Munoo! Oh, Munoo! “ shouted his aunt again. He got up. All the boys got up too. He called his cattle and drove the animals towards home, a little more quickly today than ever before.
