Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Days later, Chandranath brings Panchu to Nikhil. Harish Kundu has fined Panchu for selling foreign yarn and now wants to eject him from his ancestral holding. Kundu insists Panchu burn it all. Sandip and his followers destroy all. Nikhil says Panchu must file a complaint. Nikhil summons Sandip, who admits to being on the other side. Sandip makes a speech about how there are several kinds of truth, and the ultimate truth is whatever leads to success. Nikhil buys Panchu’s holding, taking on the debt.
Nikhil responds to Bimala’s summons. She tells him he must banish the foreign goods. Nikhil’s mind is suddenly clear. He thinks he sees Bimala as she truly is; her adornments now look cheap to him. Outside, he looks at nature and reaffirms to himself that he will never be on the wrong side of truth.
