In Nectar in a Sieve, how did the tannery factory change the face of Rukhami's small village?

The answer to your question can be found in Chapter Four
of this moving novel. Now that the tannery factory has been completed, this tiny and
isolated village experiences a massive change that it has hitherto not known. As always,
the changes are both positive and negative. The villagers, for example, are able to sell
their produce at a higher price to the workers, but prices have been driven up for them
as well, so they are unable to afford the products that they were accustomed to buying.
In addition, the tiny village that has served as our narrator's home is turning into a
town, with all the noise, commotion and bad smells associated with this new state of
affairs. Whilst Kunthi likes this, our narrator bemoans the
changes:

Already our children hold their noses when they
go by, and all is shouting and disturbance and crowds, wherever you go. Even the birds
have forgotten to sin, or else their calls are lost to
us.

This novel therefore
presents us with the many faces of "development" and how change in this example has both
positive and negative consequences for this tiny isolated Indian
village.
