In the story 'The Ghost of Friozsha Baag' the narrative conducts a probing interrogation on the issues of language and power relations. Comment

I am unfamiliar with this text, but here is the information BookRags has on the story in question.

Like everyone else in her girlhood in Goa, the ayah Jaakaylee believes in ghosts, but the first time she mentions seeing one in Firozsha Baag, people call her crazy. That is two years ago on Christmas day, after midnight mass. Seeing a white body shape appear and vanish on the first and second landings, she knows it will be on the third but does not fear. Recalling a warning that some ghosts are mischievous, she rings until the bai opens.

The Marathi in low-class Tar Gully make fun of anyone who sees a ghost. Jaakaylee's ghost returns every Friday night, now trying to fondle her breasts. Jaakaylee avoids mentioning the ghost in confession until Christmas approaches. Fr. D'Silva holds her blameless and the ghost does not return. She is sure it is because of the confession. Bai/seth (mistress/master) leave the children at night with Jaakaylee for the first time that New Year's Eve to attend a dance. At 2 AM, she begins mending a sheet. She is outside on the balcony when bai/seth's car drives up. Bai screams and points at a ghost. Jaakaylee wants to laugh, but instead reassures her the ghost is not harmful, just lost.

Many begin to believe in the ghost. Bai treats Jaakaylee as though ghosts are her specialty. One night, while Jaakaylee is reciting her rosary, bai questions her. Jaakaylee assures her "Holy Ghost" is entirely different. Bai talks her into taking part in Parsi magic involving scissors and a soopra, but when she begins speaking in an unknown voice, Jaakaylee feels a chill. When the soopra turns on its own, both scream and the implements fall. The scissors break. They forget the incident over tea.

The Ghost of Firozsha Baag Analysis

This story shifts perspective to allow an elderly Goan Christian to reflect in her own simple words about living among the Parsis in Bombay. She recalls people and events from childhood that parallel activities she observes in Firozsha Baag. Note the prejudice towards dark skin in India and the advances that Jaakaylee sees over four decades. The caste system is never addressed directly, but several stories involve oblique social criticism. Jaakaylee's ghost is not forgotten (to her chagrin) in later stories. The Mody family, including horrid son Pesi, are filled in a bit, but await full treatment in "The Collectors."
