    The whole story is ironic because the boy for whom a bank collapses has no idea about why such a thing happens. He doesn’t even have a bank account. Though the collapsing of the bank may seem the best idea to the readers as this acts as a revenge to the bank’s ignorance towards Nathu’s struggle, it throws him in a more despicable condition. As the bank collapses, he loses his stable job and doesn’t even get his dues. His future remains the same as he belongs to the lower class background.
