Can you tell me about the highly educated officer mentioned in Chapter 21 and the description of his job?

Chapter 21 introduces the story of a man who was highly educated in English, holding a B.A. degree. He progressed in his career to become a renowned officer, first as a Mamlatdar and eventually rising to the post of Collector. The chapter notes that it was by his good fortune that he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text offers a metaphorical description of the Mamlatdar post, stating that while it looked good from the outside, like a beautiful hill seen from afar, it was actually difficult and challenging up close, akin to being surrounded by thorny bushes. Despite the difficulties, the position was considered great in status.
