Which of the characters achieved, in Gyan’s words, “a life of meaning and pride”

I am tempted to say none of them. For me it would probably be Biju he tried to do what was best for his father and then took the brave decision to come home to a country in tumult where he knew he would face danger and poverty.

I would think only Father Booty. It is rather a grim story, really!

I would say none (except maybe Father Booty, though I'll need to think about that) - not a lot of meaning and pride in the inheritance of loss.
