   But 10 years before the situation was different. It was a happy village. Anyway, the villagers were divided into three sections - literate, namely literate and illiterate. The namely literate section came from the outside and were the most dangerous section. They destroyed the peaceful atmosphere of the village. They robbed the village of its glory. The election period was the most talked about time. The candidates engaged in it used its benefit. Goods, money, bear etc. the election gimmicks.


   The literate section did not have any headache with them, but the namely literate and illiterate sections felt the warmth of the election. Pitai belonged to the illiterate section. He was a labourer. The social condition of did not concern him. Earning meals for his family was his main concern. His family consisted of his parents, wife and two daughters.


    On the other hand, Kamal Sibaji was a school teacher. He taught in the village government school and was known as Kamal master. His family belonged to the literate section. They kept watch on the social condition. So, the election did not matter to them but the candidate who filed in nomination mattered. 


    A few days later, Panchayat election was declared. Kamal master knew the candidates. He was not concerned with election, but social condition. The day of casting vote came. Kamal master was going to cast his vote. On the way he met Pitai. Kamal master knew him as he used to call Pitai for some work. Then Pitai asked him if he would give to Jamin Party candidate. Kamal got surprised and asked Pitai to cast vote for any candidate but not Jamin Party candidate. Then Kamal master went to cast vote but advised Pitai, "Why waste time in fruitless work."
