Can you tell me about the Mamlatdar mentioned near the end of Chapter 21? What was his background?

Chapter 21 introduces the story of a man who eventually became a Mamlatdar. He was highly educated in English and held a B.A. degree. The chapter describes his slow but steady career progression, during which he became a renowned officer and eventually rose to the post of Collector. Most importantly, it is mentioned that by good fortune, he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text also offers a metaphor for his post, comparing the Mamlatdar position to a hill that looks beautiful from afar but is actually surrounded by thorny bushes up close, implying the job was difficult despite its high status.
