Answer 1

When speaking about the albino child, Selvam adopts a EMPHATHETIC tone.

I only read the summary. From what I read, only Selvam accepted the baby as is without being prejudiced on its color. He chided the villagers for their curiosity and foolishness. According to him, a baby is a baby and deserves love and attention.
