Chapter 21 mentions a highly educated officer. What was his career path and how was his job described?

The narrative in Chapter 21 introduces a man who was highly educated in English, holding a B.A. degree. He progressed steadily in his career, first obtaining the post of Mamlatdar and eventually rising to the position of Collector. The chapter notes that it was by his good fortune that he came into the company of Sai Baba. The text offers a metaphorical description of the Mamlatdar position, comparing it to a hill that appears beautiful from a distance but is surrounded by thorny bushes upon closer inspection. This implies that while the job held great status and looked good externally, it was actually very challenging and difficult, as explained in Chapter 21.
