What to Focus On

  • R.K. Narayan writes in simple English with humour and irony.
  • The story is a satire on bureaucracy and public excitement.
  • Talkative Man is the first-person narrator and a recurring character.
  • The story is set in the aftermath of Independence Day on 15 August 1947.
  • The Council decides to nationalise street and park names.
  • The changing of names creates confusion in the town.
  • The plot moves from celebration to confusion to revelation.
  • The narrator becomes involved in the controversy for both profit and convenience.
  • The revelation about Lawley changes the meaning of the statue.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The statue belonged to a cruel tyrant, so removing it was clearly a patriotic act from the start.

There is only one Lawley in the story, so all references point to the same historical figure.

The narrator removes the statue out of patriotism and public spirit.

Memory Tips

R.K. Narayan’s style in the story

Independence Day as the spark of action

The narrator’s job and income

The Chairman’s background as a blanket supplier
