How does the narrative in Chapter 34 use the background of the boy's uncle to underscore the power of Udi?

📖 Chapter 34

Chapter 34 strategically highlights the professional background of the boy's uncle to amplify the perceived miraculous power of Udi. The text specifies that the uncle was a 'degree-holding doctor' from Malegaon, and that he, along with his 'expert and intelligent' physician and surgeon friends, had tried everything. By establishing that the highest levels of medical science and expertise of the time had been applied and failed, the narrative creates a stark contrast. The failure of educated, professional medical practitioners, as detailed in Chapter 34, serves to elevate the subsequent spiritual remedy. It frames the situation not as a failure to seek medical help, but as a case where medical help was sought, exhausted, and found wanting, thereby positioning the healing power of Sai's Udi as something that transcends and succeeds where conventional science could not.
