Dr. Biswas is the physician who cares for Raja during his pneumonia and Aunt Mira during her fatal decline into alcoholism. Awkward and bookish, he takes an interest in Bim and asks her out on a few dates, which revolve around the interest in Western classical music that he developed while studying medicine in Germany. He doesn’t take Bim’s interest in history seriously and tells her to become a nurse instead, and when he invites her over to his house, he childishly gets in an argument with his mother. These experiences reinforce Bim’s decision never to marry.
