This paper intends to explore the individuality of mind as visible in the child characters in the select short stories of Ruskin Bond. These seemingly ordinary characters possess extra-ordinary traits as they no longer view the world and situations as dictated by their elders; rather, they react to circumstances after logically judging them on their own. The ideology of these characters, despite their humble background and nonexistent contact with the fast-moving world, possesses a sense of maturity that puts them head and shoulders above their counterparts living in the luxurious environs. This paper is divided into three sections.
