In Premchand's novel 'Gaban', the protagonist Ramanath embezzles government money primarily to satisfy his wife Jalpa's desire for:
- A large house in the city
- Expensive jewelry
- A luxurious car
- Higher education abroad
Answer: Expensive jewelry
'Gaban' (1931) critiques the obsession with outward show and materialism, as Ramanath's crimes stem from his inability to refuse Jalpa's demands for jewelry.
