Question
Why was Sulekha called Bholi, the simpleton?

Answer

'Sulekha' means a woman who writes with a beautiful hand. Ironically, Bholi of the story was considered to be a backward child. She was called a ‘simpleton' or a witless girl. She fell off her cot in early childhood, and a part of her brain was damaged. All the girls of Ramlal except Bholi were good looking and healthy. Bholi couldn't speak properly and stammered. Her pockmarks made her far from being pretty. Everyone mocked and made fun of such a stammering simpleton.
