In this section of the book, Raja wants to go to Jamia Millia for college, but his father disapproves of this decision because of the war at the time. A few days later, their mother quietly fell into a coma and was unconscious for a number of days until she sadly died.
Raja ended up going to a Hindu College to study English Literature, where his want to be a poet was made more evident in the book. It was also found that Raja wanted to be a Hero and Bim a Herioine, but Tara wanted to be a mother.
Raja's friends did not approve of him accepting the idea of Pakistan as feasible, and as a result changed from being his friends to his enemies. Later down, Raja got infected with Tuberculosis and Bim took care of him since Tara was always out and Aunt Mira was getting older.
Their father, Mr. Das, died suddenly on his way back from the club, where the car had bumped slightly against the curb of a traffic roundabout on a deserted street on the Ridge.
After not hearing from his friends, the Hyder Ali's, Raja finally got a letter from them. Bim and Baba went to the deserted Hyder Ali's house and found their dog and servant, along with a gramophone and brought them back to the house.
Aunt Mira began to get sick as a result of her constant drinking of alcohol and soon died
Tara got married to Bakul and left with him to go to Ceylon.
Dr. Biswas, the doctor who would come by to see how Raja and Aunt Mira were doing, started to have feelings for Bim, but she did not entertain hi feelings since she had so many other things on her plate, such as taking care of everyone in the house.
