Can you tell me about the government officer who is introduced in Chapter 21?

Towards the end of the provided excerpts from Chapter 21, a new story is introduced about a man who was highly educated in English, holding a B.A. degree. This individual progressed through the ranks of government service, first becoming a Mamlatdar and eventually being promoted to the post of Collector. The chapter highlights that it was by his good fortune that he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text also offers a description of the Mamlatdar post, comparing it to a hill that looks beautiful from afar but is difficult and thorny up close, suggesting the job was challenging despite its high status.
