What does the writer say about the Indians aping the West?

Answer:

The writer feels that Indians blindly follow the sahibs in England. Like a flock of sheep, they follow a single . one into the pit.

Question 3.

Why were the PEOPLE of the village curious to see Ranga?

The people of the village were curious to see Ranga because not many villagers were learned in English back then when the story TAKES place. Ranga was the first one to go to Bangalore for his education and his homecoming was celebrated and people flocked to witness the change, ten years of Bangalore, wrought in him.
