Education
Lothoo did not get formal school education as Jagirdars had prohibited it for the sons of farmers during British Raj. There was a severe penalty for activities of spreading education. Even the touching of Vedas and Puranas by farming communities was treated as offense. The farmers were badly oppressed and exploited by Jagirdars. Lathoo could get some knowledge of Hindi without being coming into the notice of Jagirdars. He could get even a little knowledge of English also.
