Why was Kashiram carrying a bundle of powdered sugar, and who told him to do so?

Kashiram carried a bundle of powdered sugar because he was following the advice of a saint named Janakidas Baba, who had instructed him to feed sugar to ants. As recounted in Chapter 0, this simple spiritual practice became deeply important to Kashiram. The bundle of sugar was so dear to him that he valued it above his other possessions and was willing to risk his life for it during a robbery. He decided that 'whatever happened, he would not let it go,' which highlights his profound commitment to fulfilling the saint's instruction, treating it as a sacred duty.
