Question
Can we call thieves ‘truly hard-working and honest’?
Solution
No, we cannot describe thieves as truly hardworking and honest because they steal from others. They make no effort to make money in an ethical manner. The narrative's robbers are presented as honest and hardworking to highlight the lack of knowledge of the residents of Andher Nagari.
