The narrative in Chapter 0 describes a situation where Kashiram acted in defense of something he held dear. When attacked by Bhil robbers, he did not initially resist them taking his belongings. However, he fought back when they tried to take a bundle of powdered sugar. This sugar was precious to him because a saint named Janakidas Baba had advised him to feed it to ants. When a thief dropped a sword, Kashiram used it, killing two of them before being struck down himself. The text presents this as a factual account of his struggle to protect what he considered a sacred duty, without offering a moral judgment on the violence itself.
The source mentions Kashiram killed two robbers. How can a supposed devotee of a saint commit such violence, and why is it presented so casually?
