What happened to Kashiram when he was attacked by robbers, and why did he fight back so fiercely over a small bundle?

The story of Kashiram's encounter with Bhil robbers is a testament to his unique values. As detailed in Chapter 0, while returning from a market, robbers accosted him. They took some of his belongings without resistance. However, when they tried to snatch a small bundle, Kashiram fought back fiercely. This bundle, which the thieves mistakenly thought contained treasure, actually held powdered sugar. Kashiram carried it to feed ants, following the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba. Because this act of service was so dear to him, he defended the bundle with his life, even killing two thieves before being struck down and left for dead.
