The short story by Premchand was (and perhaps still is) a part of middle school Hindi textbooks. The story conveys a simple yet powerful message for teenagers who will soon become citizens and perhaps leaders. Even less morally demanding, and many would say less naive, political analysis by and for grown-ups carries a similar hope. Second, Sarma has openly erased the distinction between an elected, constitutional post and what he sees as his party’s ideological-political task. The hope might be that the next generation of leaders remembers a story by Premchand they read in middle school.
