Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The story seems to be set somewhere in U.P. The cultural background and the language of the characters reveal this fact. No, the characters in the story don.t speak to each other in English. Hari Singh is uneducated and doesn.t know how to write complete sentences. Hari Singh hesitates to jump into a compartment of the Lucknow Express. This clearly shows that the people of this region speak in Hindi.
