The Mongoose Character Analysis

Ashok’s brother, also referred to as Mukesh Sir. Mukesh Sir suspects that Balram is dishonest from their very first meeting, and disapproves of Ashok’s lenient attitude towards his servant. Unlike Ashok who has recently returned from living abroad in the US, Mukesh Sir accepts India’s dishonest political scene and participates willingly in his family’s corrupt dealings. He visits Delhi regularly to help Ashok distribute bribes on schedule and, after Pinky Madam’s departure, to comfort him in his loneliness.
