In at least 150 words, explain rukmani's opinion about what effect the tannery has on the village?

Rukmani did not like the tannery coming into their village. She despised it for changing the way their village is turned into after these white men came.

Explanation:

In the story Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya, the village life of rural India is presented neatly as a representation of the difficult life it entails. The narrator and protagonist of the story is Rukmani, a literate woman married to a lower class, Nathan who is a migrant worker.

When at first the white men workers arrived, everyone seemed enthralled with the prospect of having a tannery in the village. But for Rukmani, she wasn't supportive of the idea of these men coming into the village. She may have also liked them coming at first but when they left, she was unimpressed with what they had done to them. They also changed the whole village life, Rukmani stating that "They had invaded our village with clatter and din, had taken from us the maidan where our children played, and had made the bazaar prices too high for us". She also claims they "lay their hands upon us and we are all turned from tilling to barter, and hoard our silver since we cannot spend it, and see our children go without the food that their children gorge". In short, the tannery is the villain in their lives, which will turn tragic for almost all of her family members.
