They have a history of theft

Answer 1

They are literate and independent-minded

Step-by-step explanation:

Arjun becomes the spokeman for the striking tannery workers (independent-minded). He was a good student inschool as well (literate). The rest of Ruku's son's who worked at the tannery followed Arjun.
