Can you tell me about the Mamlatdar who is introduced in this chapter?

Chapter 21 introduces 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 later rising to the position of Collector. The chapter notes that it was by his good fortune that he obtained the company of Sai Baba. The text also offers a perspective on his job, stating that the Mamlatdar post, while looking good from the outside, was difficult in reality, comparing it to a beautiful hill that is surrounded by thorny bushes upon closer inspection.
