Who is your least favourite character in Village By The Sea (VBTS)?
Some might say it is Hari and Lila's father.
Others might say it is the man who lives in the tin shack.
While others might say it is Billu or the beggar.
But for me, I dislike the Bombay policeman most.
Why? Look at this. Firstly, he called the villagers, including Hari, fools. As you know, calling someone a fool is exceptionally derogatory, escpecially to someone who is of a lower class. He even shouted that they were fools as the did not know how to cross a road properly. Little did he understand that they were from the village and had never even seen so many cars, not to mention roads. Also, he did not know that the people that he was calling fools, were those who were providing food for him to survive!
Next, he even jeered at them and told them to go back to where they came from, which, its very offensive to say. He does not even have the least sympathy for them and told them to get out of his way. This goes to show he is heartless and does not care for his fellow citizens, not giving them the proper respect and fair treatment they should receive for their hard work on the fields.
Furthermore, he is portrayed as an evil man through his sarcasm. As the villagers know little, he treats them like a lower class human just because he is more knowledgeable than them. What do you know, the villagers know how to grow crops while he doesn't!
In conclusion, as the policeman has no respect for others, and sees himself high and mighty, as well as not treating them fairly, he makes himself look an evil man and thus, my least favourite character in Village By The Sea.
