When the girl was given the name of subhashini, who could have guessed that she would be dumb? her two elder sisters were sukheshini and suhashini, and for the sake of uniformity her father had named his youngest girl subhashini. she was called subha for short.

(i know for a fact that subhashini, means "soft spoken' or 'sweetly spoken' in hindu. but i just want to make sure)

why is the girl’s name ironic?
it means “lovely locks,” and she was born bald.
it’s ironic because subha is the youngest daughter.
it means “sweetly speaking,” and the girl cannot speak.
subha will not be able to find a husband.
