Karma is the consequence of what we do, whether it is good or bad.
In the story entitled Karma, Sir Mohan Lai is an English-trained Indian lawyer, a vizier and a barrister and meets so many officers and Englishmen since he went to America, lived and studied there for five years wherein he learned to speak English and understand every written word in English that is why he can read his favorite newspaper entitled The Times.
But, as I reacted on the story, Sir Mohan Lai represents a boastful person and being too proud on himself for he treated his fellow Indians bad and because he want to seek the attention and appreciation of his fellowmen, showing them how he was changed by the influences of the Englishmen on him. He wanted to be recognized by his fellow Indians that he can speak the English language and he wanted to use this advantage to be authoritative on his fellows in the train and in India.Sir Mohan Lai also shows being a stranger on his own country becaquse of what he did n his fellowmen and by using the English language in getting attention of others rather thatn using the Indian language.
He also treated badly his wife namely Lachmi since he treated the relatives of his wife not well like disliking them since they are poor and he never given a time for her wife to spare with his relatives. Because of this, I can say that Sir Mohan Lai is not kind and too boastful.
Sir Mohan Lai was being given a bad Karma because of what I have stated above and because of being too proud in using English words that the soldiers were being annoyed to him since he is disturbing the two soldiers who noticed his speaking skills in English, Sir Mohan Lai was being kicked out inside the train which really served him right.
But, fortunately for Lachmi, she was given a good Karma for being humble, treating his fellow Indians well, and for still understanding his husband on his being boastful. She still respect and accepted his husband. In the end of the story as Sir Mohan Lai was been kicked out by the soldiers outside the train, Lachmi was staying comfortably in the interclass zenana since she made good actions on her fellowmen.
I can conclude that Karma is really being explained on this story itself. Karma is when doing an action to someone, whether bad or good is will come back also on the one who do it. That is why we must be aware on what we are doing and weighing the things we want to do so that we will not hurt someone unconsciously.
