Usha Patel
Pi’s four-year-old daughter and the living proof that Pi’s story has a “happy ending.”
Mr. Satish Kumar
Pi’s biology teacher at Petit Seminaire. Satish Kumar is a communist, atheist, and
a great mentor to Pi. Satish’s beliefs embody the facts and truths that Pi adopts as
part of his own multifaceted belief system.
Mr. Satish Kumar
Pi’s Muslim mentor. This second Mr. Kumar’s education of Pi is just as crucial as
the first’s, and Pi adopts it just as completely. Pi does not differentiate, as the two
Mr. Kumars do, between spiritual faith and scientific reality. Pi’s relationship with
the identically named men with opposing viewpoints is an illustration of his ability to
believe in multiple, opposite views of the world simultaneously.
