THE BRAVEHEART
Mehmood was a tailor in Budgam. His greatest desire was to have himself photographed posing with guns. Finally a school friend of his who had joined a militant group took him to their hideout and made his dream come true. Mehmood returned to Srinagar with the negatives and took them to Taj Photo Studio to have prints made. He negotiated a 25-paisa discount for each print. When he went to pick up his prints the Border Security Force laid a cordon around Taj Photo Studio and caught him red-handed with the prints. He was taken to a camp and tortured for many days. He did not give away any information. He was sentenced to ten years in jail.
The militant commander who facilitated the photography session was arrested a few months later. Two AK-47s and several rounds of ammunition were recovered from him. He was released after two months.
Q 1: Was it worth it?
Answer: No it was not worth it. Mehmood, a tailor might have defended himself by telling the truth but as the BSF troop caught him with the accusation of being a terrorist his truth was not considered truth. And on the other side militant who might be the real culprit was released in two months and innocent Mehmmod was imprisoned for ten years.
THE CAREERIST
The boy had always wanted to make something of himself. He invited four militants for dinner and slipped sleeping pills into their food. Once they had fallen asleep he called the army. They killed the militants and burned down the house. The army had promised the boy two canals of land and one hundred and fifty thousand rupees. They gave him only fifty thousand and accommodated him in quarters just outside an army camp. They told him that if he wanted a permanent job with them instead of being just a daily wage worker he would have to get them two foreign militants. He managed to get them one ‘live’ Pakistani but was having trouble finding another. ‘Unfortunately these days business is bad,’ he told PI. ‘Things have become such that you cannot any longer just kill someone and pretend he’s a foreign militant. So my job cannot be made permanent.’
PI asked him, if there was a referendum whom he would vote for, India or Pakistan?
‘Pakistan of course.’ ‘Why?’
‘Because it is our Mulk (country). But Pakistan militants can’t help us in this way. If I can kill them and get a good job it helps me.’
He told PI that when Kashmir became a part of Pakistan, he (PI) would not be able to survive in it. But he (the boy) would. But that, he said, was just a theoretical matter. Because he would be killed shortly.
Q 1: Who did the boy expect to be killed by?
(a) The army (b) Militants (c) Pakistanis (d) Owners of the house that was burned.
Answer: The army

Write about Dr. Azad Bharti from the ministry of utmost happiness
Dr. Azad Bharti is a fictional character from the novel "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" by Arundhati Roy. He is a doctor and a political activist who becomes involved in the struggle for the rights of marginalized communities in India. He is the lover of Dr. Aad Bharti, who is a transgender woman and runs an orphanage for children born with intersex traits.

He is also portrayed as someone who is deeply troubled by the atrocities and injustices he witnesses in society. He is an important character in the novel as his story and journey intersect with the other characters, and plays a crucial role in the narrative.
Who is Dr. Azad Bharti in The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
Dr. Azad Bharti is a fictional character in the novel "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" by Indian author Arundhati Roy. The novel is set in contemporary India and tells the story of a diverse group of characters whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. Dr. Azad Bharti is a character in the novel who is described as a doctor who works at a hospital in New Delhi. Beyond that, I am not able to give more information as the novel is large and complex and the character Dr. Azad Bharti's role and background is not specified.
Outcome:
In Gpt Chat I decided to ask about the character of Dr. Azad Bharti. In the novel, he is playing an important role in connecting all the characters and there is one whole chapter based on him. He is the one who is protesting at Jantar Mantar for 11 years with various arguments.
At first, when I asked about his character I got a spelling mistake yet ChatGPT gave some self-prepared answers which are completely away from the novel. In the same chat, I asked the same question with the correct spelling yet it didn't give a correct answer.
In the new chat, I asked the question but still, it couldn't answer me precisely. Perhaps the reason behind it is the Novel is recently published and chatGPT is not having enough data about it.
Thanks for visiting.
