The narrator in “Ranga’s Marriage” was Shyama. He was an old man who was full of forthrightness and had great sense of humor. Shyama believed in all the traditional things. He was intelligent as well as a great manipulator. He manipulated Ranga for going into an arrange marriage with a girl called Ratna who was of only eleven years. Initially Ranga had thought not to marry a very young girl. However, Shyama makes the plan and Ranga also fell into his trap. He helped Ranga and Ratna get united after Ranga fell in love with her against his own will and notion. The narrator did it because he loved both of them. He was thus a helpful and good hearted person. 

Shyama took Ranga to the astrologer as he wanted him to get him to get married to Ratna. Accordingly, he took Ranga to the astrologer whom he had already tutored. The outcome was that the astrologer succeeded in arousing Ranga’s interest in Ratna.
 

The narrator was impressed by Rangappa’s character. He liked the way Ranga touched his feet to receive blessings and did a ‘namaskara’. He blessed Ranga that he might get married soon. But the narrator was distressed. The boy who he thought would make a good husband, had decided to remain a bachelor. The narrator made up his mind to get him married.

The narrator arranged a meeting of Ratna and Ranga at one place. Ratna was a pretty niece of Rama Rao. She was from a big town and knew how to play the veena and harmonium. She was a good singer too. The girl was quite free with the narrator. One day while she was singing the narrator sent for Ranga. Ranga stood at the threshold listening to the song. He peeped inside to see her. He developed a silent liking for the girl. He only pretended to hide his real feelings. He was pained when the narrator told a lie that she was married a year ago.

The narrator was a good judge of men, matters and situations. He knew how to create a favourable situation. He convinced Ranga to accompany him to Shastri. He tutored Shastri to influence Ranga’s decision. Shastri revealed that a girl was the cause of Ranga’s all worries. She could be Kamla or Ratna. Very cleverly the narrator asked Shastri if there was any chance of their negotiations being fruitful. Shastri replied “definitely”. In this way, the narrator was successful in bringing them together and making them life-partners.

Shyama took Ranga to the astrologer as he wanted him to get him to get married to Ratna. Accordingly, he took Ranga to the astrologer whom he had already tutored. The outcome was that the astrologer succeeded in arousing Ranga’s interest in Ratna.
 

There was a very less number of people with the knowledge of the language in the narrator's village and his community was highly influenced by the language. Hence, English was considered as a priceless commodity in those days.

The narrator calls English a ‘priceless commodity’. But it was not so widespread in Hosahalli. The craze of the people to see Ranga when he returned from Bangalore proves this point. They had a great respect for a person who knew English. Rama Rao told the woman selling firewood that he had no ‘change’. She couldn’t understand the meaning of even such a simple English word.

There is no mention of Hosahalli village in geography books because English sahibs had no idea that such a place exists in India. Eventually, our own Indian geographers also forgot to mention it. When both sahibs and geographers forgot to mention the place on a map, it is vain to even think that cartographer would remember it.

Everyone was in awe because Ranga had returned to village after six months. Ranga's homecoming was a great event as he was the first person from his village to go to Bangalore to study. When he returned after six months, every villager rushed to his house to have a look at him. As Ranga returned from the city of Bangalore, many people of his village came to see him as he was the first to go outside the village for higher education.

The narrator refers to Ranga's courtyard as the Black Hole of Calcutta because the teeming masses had congested that small space into a similar sort of structure where more and more people seemed to be swallowed up as they went in. The Black Hole of Calcutta was a dungeon in the old Fort of William of Calcutta where British prisoners of war were held captive by the nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah. The inhabitants had to live in close quarters, crammed together in a small space. The situation was similar in Ranga's courtyard which had witnessed a huge turnout due to the arrival of the accountant's son from the city.

Ranga was the son of the village accountant. the accountant was brave enough to be the first to send his son to the city for learning English. Ranga's homecoming became a great event because the villagers were curious to see whether he had changed after staying in the city. They wanted to see if he was still following all the rituals and traditions. Once they realised that Ranga had not changed, the crowd of people slowly disappeared.

Aram and Mourad have stolen the house and want to hide it in their cousin’s place.

They also want to keep it away from the eyes of its actual owner and people in their locality.

Finally, Mourad has found the best place to keep the horse, i.e. in the deserted vineyard.

He pulled the horse inside and tied it snugly.

If he is caught that he has stolen the horse, it would be a bad name for his family and their family lose the honesty and integrity.

The grandmother didn’t like the English school in the city. It was totally different from the village school that was attached to the temple. She was sad and disturbed. They didn’t teach anything about God and the scriptures at the new school. Nor was she interested in science. She hated music lessons given in the new school.

The grandmother didn't approve of the teaching methods at the English schools due to many reasons. She didn't like the fact that they only taught about science and nothing on God, the scriptures and spirituality. She absolutely disapproved of music being taught for she didn't considered music as something for the gentlefolk but to be the sole monopoly of beggars and harlots. Western education did not please the grandmother at all.

Suzanne was narrator’s seven year old daughter. She was very brave. She was critically injured at the time the huge wave struck the boat. Her eyes were terribly swollen because of the head injury. There was a cut on her arm also; however, she did not cry. She repeatedly told her father she was alright; the truth was she was not. She had to undergo six minor operations to remove the blood clotting from her brain.

Observe the history of tut on walls and look king tuts mummy however it is highest attractions points for tourist love Egypt history The burial chamber of King Tut is the grandest room within the entire tomb. The burial chamber walls have been divided up into four regions known as the northern wall, eastern wall, southern wall, and western wall.

The pharaoh’s curse was that death or misfortune would fall upon those who disturbed him. The silent visitors are the first to refer to it. Later on a guard joked nervously when the million dollar scanner stopped functioning because of sand in a cooler fan.

The content of the tut’s tomb was considered special because it was discovered by Howard Carter after the period in which most of the archeologist claimed that the entire tomb in the place were completely identified.  

Secondly inside the tomb, Carter discovered rooms loaded up with wealth. This included statues, gold adornments, Tutankhamen’s mummy, chariots, model pontoons, canopic containers, seats, and works of art.

It was a stunning disclosure and one of the most significant made ever of. Taking all things together, there were more than 5,000 items in the tomb. It took Carter and his group ten years to list everything.

The Egyptian Mummy Project, which began an inventory in late 2003, was engaged in the task of recording mummies so it had recorded almost 600 so far and was still counting. The next phase of the project was scanning the mummies with a portable CT machine donated by the National Geographic Society and Siemens, its manufacturer. King Tut was one of the first mummies to be scanned, in death, as in life, moving regally ahead of his countrymen.

Yes Carter did write because in his defence Carter had little choice.If he hadn't cut the mummy free so the thieves would have cheated the guards and destroyed the mummy in a part to remove all the gold because in Tut's time royal families were too wealthy and they took gold rings,necklaces,bracelets etc.with dead bodies.

1. The chapter 'Discovering Tut : the saga continues' portrays the mysteries surrounding ancient Egyptian life and culture. The chapter is based on a book by the same name and describes the Egyptian culture and traditions practised during King Tut's time. It focuses on the architectural wonders of the Egyptian civilization. It also gives an insight into the process of preserving dead bodies by converting them to mummies. The ancient Egyptians believed in afterlife and preserved the bodies of their kings and buried them with essentials to ease their progress into the afterlife.
2. The chapter 'Discovering Tut : the saga continues' describes the lifestyle of the Egyptian people during King Tut's time and probes into the circumstances of his death. King Tut or Tutankhamen was a young boy when he became the ruler of Egypt. He was the last ruler of a powerful dynasty that had ruled Egypt for centuries. He ruled for nine years and died a mysterious death. The famous king's dead body was preserved as a mummy and buried with gold, precious wares, clothes and everyday essentials in his tomb. He was buried with tremendous amount of wealth and personal possessions to ease his transition into the afterlife.

The results of the CT scan revealed some wonderful images of Tut on the computer screen. His neck-bone appeared very clearly. So were the other images — a hand and several views of rib cage and skull.

Howard Carter's investigation was resented. Howard Carter's investigation was resented because Carter's men removed the mummy's head and severed nearly every major joint of the body to raise Tut's body from the coffin.
