white teeth chapter 10 Archie's character development

In chapter 10 we first see conflict and character growth in Archie's character. Archie is usually a non confrontational character who usually is weak compared to other characters. Archie and Samad argue about history of the great Indian Mutiny. Samad gives his interpretation of what happens and Archie believe the history book more. When Samad argues with Archie, Archie does not back down which is unlike his character. Before this scene Archie was more of a static character that doesn't change or develop at all and now he seems more dynamic.
