Raman is the younger brother of appa's sister's husband. He is staying in Thatha's home while he finishes college. Raman is a year or two older than Kitta. Raman is given much respect in the home because his treatment reflects on appa's sister. Raman shares Vidya's belief in nonviolence, but understands why Kitta wants to fight. He is in love with Vidya and plans to attend a Master's program in the United States.
