The whole Tettar clan refuse to learn or accept new things. However as the world outside their little haveli has changed ans it demands new things to be incorporated they deliberately want to do it but still don't anyone, atleast some one whom they consider inferior to them to teach them any thing.
They do go out @ Angelic but they threaten people with guns remember? Given their goonda culture I assume they ask the restaurant to be left emptied when they are eating. So they are allowed to eat with hands or even with their feet.😆
Tettar is not a great politician. He never was. He is not even that rich as Anaro believes. Remember he had fixed Babboo:s marriage for dowry. The girl's father was suppose to finance his election expenses. As they say, ' Andho me kana Raja'. Kushwahapur otherwise is blessed with acute poverty. His sudden desire to become MLA began with the entry of his damad in his life. He is not even a respected or powerful person in state politics. He got MLa ticket after paying a huge payment and appeasing his masters in Patna
Rituraj does not belong to any influential famkly or he would not have been dependent on Tettar. He doesn't have anything of his own except his law degree. And that actually was enough to get married to Tettar's daughter. He didn't bother to learn anything more. Good thing though is that he will learn it eventually while the whole Tettar clan would still struggle with k nives and forks.
Tettar clan and their way of thinking is quite common in the rich and upper middle class families of small towns and villages in India. Due to availability of resources they live a comfortable life there which city people can never have even if the pay. I have few relatives like that. We have an ancestral home there in village. They buy anything that is available in city when they visit us. But will eat with hand and will have tea in steel glass only.
