Can you tell me about the Mamlatdar who is introduced in Chapter 21? What was his background and how was his job depicted?

Chapter 21 introduces a man who was highly educated in English, possessing a B.A. degree. He progressed in his career, obtaining the post of Mamlatdar and later becoming a Collector. The chapter notes that he was fortunate to have received the company of Sai Baba. The job of a Mamlatdar is described with a vivid metaphor: it looked good from the outside, like a hill that appears beautiful from a distance. However, upon getting closer, it was full of challenges, likened to thorny bushes. Despite these difficulties, the position was acknowledged as being great in terms of status.
