Chota
Ram Charan, a washer-man, is Gulabo’s son and one of Bakha and Chota’s best friends. Though Ram Charan is an outcaste, he has more access to fine things than his friends do, as can be seen in his many items of coveted English clothing and in the sweet treats he devours at his sister’s wedding. Ram Charan is much less prejudiced against Bakha and other sweepers than Gulabo is, but he often adds to Bakha’s feelings of shame rather than mitigating them.

Quotes
The hand of nature was stretching itself out towards [Bakha], for the tall grass on the slopes of Bulashah Hills was in sight, and he had opened his heart to it, lifted by the cool breeze that wafted him away from the crowds, the ugliness and the noise of the outcastes’ street. He looked across at the swaying loveliness before him and the little hillocks over which it spread under a sunny sky, so transcendently blue and beautiful that he felt like standing dumb and motionless before it. He listened to the incoherent whistling of the shrubs. They were the voices he knew so well.
