The protagonist of the story, Munshi Bansidhar has a variety of characteristics that are appeasing. Coming from a family that is already in debts, it is easy to feel like money is the most important element. Even when the rich landlords as we see, out of greed, indulge themselves in corruption. Munshi Bansidhar on the other hand gets his job as a Salt Inspector and decides to stick to his job along with his ethics. One can easily sway away in this materialistic world but he does not turn away from his honesty even when his family also is against this. The landlord attempting to break him by not letting him work also does not waiver his confidence. These qualities are the most inspirational.
