This chapter ist about Manjit's youngest uncle "Jag". Jag is called the black sheep, because he is different to the rest of the family - like Manjit.
He went away from home and travelled around the world, but nobody knows, what he really is working for. Besides Jag is well educated and he speaks English without an accent.
When his father died, Jag didn't come to visit him.
Jag wants to defend Manjit. The family wants to force Manjit to become a real Punjabi. But Jag has a different opinion to the Indina's tradition. He is not as proud as the other Indians and he doesn't like to be treated respectfully because of his age.
