 | | But because Jotiba’s father, Govindrao, and his two brothers followed the trade of florists and supplied flowers, garlands, etc, to the Peshwa’s household, the family came to be called ‘Phule’. |
 | | Therefore, Govindrao removed his son from the school, and for some time Jotiba had to take the pick-axe and work in the garden. |
 | | Fortunately, Govindrao’s neighbours, Gaffhar Baig and Legit, impressed upon him value of education and prevailed upon him to send his son to a Scottish Mission School. |
