Summary

In Part 4: Chapter 6, as Asghar walks home from his office, he notices how deserted the streets have become and the massive presence of British troops and Indian police. It is during these times that revolutions are breaking out in the open, but the men involved are quickly dealt with. Asghar does not care about any of this. He is in love again, this time with Zohra and nothing else matters to him. He passes by the milk seller's shop and sees the milk seller walking around in a daze and his wife screaming. He asks someone what is happening and is told that the milk seller's son was killed in the afternoon after he left the shop to protest against the British. Asghar feels sorry for this family, but he turns and walks away from them.
