The Character of Baba Das

• Baba's character somewhat restricted Bim from realising her full potential. He prevented her from leaving home because she felt that she had to stay, devote her life and take care of him.

• Baba also gave Bim an excuse to continue being the unconventinal woman because he life's resposibilty was to take care of him and no-one expected her to get married or have children nor did she want to do any of those things.

• Baba was a character who did not change, he conplements the unchange of the Old Dehli and the house. He always does the same thing repeatedly. He represents the monotony of Old Dehli and what Tara had left behind.

• Baba was also a mentally challenged, quiet, young man. The youngest child of the Das family. He was the most neglected by his mother because he needed the most attention growing up therefore his mother sent for Aunt Mira who taught and raised him.
