As detailed in Chapter 0, Kashiram, a cloth seller, was once attacked by Bhil robbers while returning from a market. The robbers took some of his belongings without resistance. However, when they tried to take a small bundle, Kashiram fought back. This bundle was very dear to him not because it contained treasure, as the thieves suspected, but because it held powdered sugar. He carried this sugar based on the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba, who told him to feed ants. Because this act of service was so important to him, he was determined not to let the bundle go, leading to a violent confrontation where he was severely injured but ultimately survived.
Can you describe the incident where Kashiram was attacked by robbers and explain why he protected a seemingly insignificant bundle so fiercely?
