Answer 1

This one of the short stories named January night written by premchand .this is a story of a tenant farmer named Halku and his plight against landlordship prevalent . Halku's fields are the centerline of this plot, being both, his only source of income as well as cause of all his problems. Basically he had to choose between a blanket which got along with it the insult by the landlord for not paying the tax or cold and chilly january nights in the field to guard it upholding his honour and pride. He always had an option of chucking the job of farming and being a paid labour, but an Indian with any pride wouldn't do so in those times. He upheld the same honour and pride by chucking the insults and choosing cold chilly nights in 'his fields'.

there was his friend lying underneath , jabra, the dog. when cold became intolerable halku picked up jabra patting his head , got him to fall asleep in his lap . the dog's body was giving a kind oif stink but halku embraced him. The field establishes the connection between a dog and its master in a wonderful way. As the writer describes Halku sleeping under the shelter of cane leaves he also meant to show the significance those crops held. They were the shelter of his life.Even his own fields had turned against him in the darkness of night and transformed into scary and dangerous bushes. When the wild animals were destroying his field, he knew it, but couldn't gather the will to get up and save . It seemed that it was because of the physical inability that the cold weather had caused to him but more of it was because of the mental effect that the fields have had over his life. he left everything on jabra thinking that if jabra was there no wild animal would dare enter his field.. in the very next morning halku came to know from his wife that his entire field was ruined by wild animals . His wife said that now he would have to hire himself to pay money for taxes but he said that now he'll not have to sleep out in cold and find the blanket with some other plan.
