The story Karma portrays the importance of loving and accepting one's own race, nationality and kind. Wherein, to be able to identify and empower one's self-identity with humility and a great openness to one's heart.
I believe in Karma, I always do. I do believe that we could possibly reap the fruits of our own labor until the reaping time comes. For I believe that God will do in His power to teach us a lesson where we could probably learn and do better after. I also believe that God punishes and rewards those people who have done wrong or right, for always, there is a great deal of lesson after wards. Even though that i was born to become a Roman Catholic and the belief of the Karma is in the beliefs of an Hindu, I too believes it.
In the story that we had, I wasn't able to understand the flow at first, for the story was full of terminologies of an Hindu wherein, I could not really comprehend at all. So, I ha to read it on the second time, and luck was in my hand, for I was able to get what the author wants to say. The story itself is very funny, in fact a story that folds the truth to those persons who have been like the main characters in the story. The main characters of the story were Sir Mohan, who is an Hindu by blood and had been acculturated himself to become an Englishman, who strongly disgusts his own race and finds it dirty and inefficient, he seldom speaks Hindustani, but when he spoke with his own mother tongue it surely like an accent of an Englishman's but not the typical accent of an Hindu speaking Hindustani but for him, it was Anglicized. While, Lady Lai who is just a typical Hindu, who is a wearing the sari, who is very much a typical traveler who is not really minding the people around and is very much unlikely to Sir Mohan.
Sir Mohan is very fine man, he is very much knowledgeable in all terms: politics, sports, economy and even to some issues regarding the country. Undoubtedly, he was like an Englishman. But, the truth is he was not. he had leaned his lessons when he was being disposed by the guards outside. Where his literacy in the language and the etiquette of a true Englishman was not given a great deal of notice from the guards where they have just do not trust their inebriated ears, and throw Sir Mohan outside the train.
The lesson that Sir Mohan had received shocked his systems and made him realize that it is not really good to feign or pretend someone who is really not existing. Sir Mohan has been really adopting the culture and the language up to the point in time that he was being too ambitious in making himself like the Englishmen, where in fact he was a pure Hindu and he should first acculturate himself to their own customs and traditions before jumping or learning the other culture.
It shows how he hated his country, where is a good reminder for all of us to be cautious with the way we adopt something we barely know and without loving the way we live biologically. For it seems like we are foreign in our own home, and it is not good. There should be an appreciation to whatever changes of development or progressiveness to our own nationality and another appreciation for the ways our nation is facing a scarce of resources or in poverty, ways of making out of the muddy slump that they are into. Instead of putting it down, it is much better to lift it up and be PROUD to whatever sacrifices that you have made.
Love the country that holds you, for it will always pay respect to you even what pedestal are you standing at. Keeping the patriotism at heart is an edifice of a good future for the future children of the land.
