Summary: "The Spoilt Child: A Tale of Hindu Domestic Life" by Peary Chand Mitra is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the intricacies of Hindu domestic life through the story of a wealthy zemindar, Baburam Babu, and his excessively pampered son, Matilall. The narrative likely delves into themes of morality, family dynamics, and societal norms, especially around issues of education and the impact of indulgence on character development. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Baburam Babu, a wealthy zemindar who has amassed his fortune through dubious means, as he seeks to elevate his status in society. His son, Matilall, is depicted as the quintessential spoilt child, indulged by his parents to the point of irresponsibility. The opening chapters detail Matilall's antics at home and the challenges he presents to his tutors, illustrating his aversion to education and authority. The narrative hints at the consequences of his upbringing, creating a vivid and often humorous portrait of the tensions between wealth, indulgence, and moral rectitude in the context of Hindu family life.
