It is said that the indian farmer is born in debt, lives in debt, and dies in debt, which is true in this case!
Most farmers like Halku are very poor, so they normally can't pay the rent
Have you got the rent?
Most of the money is used to pay the rent, so there is very little money left to pay for their needs or debts
I think we are running out of food again. How much money have we got?
We only have very little left! I had to give most of them to the landlord!
Before the British came, there were already a certain set of rules that governed about things like land lordship ....
But when the British came, they introduced a system called the 'Zamnidari system' (land lordship system) which made moneylenders and tax collectors the main power, and poor people the victims
If you don't get the rent soon, I will be forced to complain to a higher authority !!!
In the story 'January Night' the hardships of the poor under the Zamnidari system are very present,as the whole story revolves around Halku's plight as a tenant farmer...
.....As it also shows that Halku had to give away the three rupees he had carefully saved up to buy a blanket to the landlord.
I've been saving up for so long, and now I am going to give it all away in one day!
