Balram meets this driver at his new home in the servants' quarters in New Delhi while working for Mr. Ashok. The driver suffers from vitiligo, an apparently common disease amongst the working castes of India in which there is no pigment in the sufferer’s skin, leaving pink patches in otherwise brown complexions.
