Baby Kochama is being cruel to everyone, and she hates everything that she can. Baby Kochama wants everything to be her benefit so that she manipulate other people to satisfy herself. Moreover, she also manipulated mamachi when mamachi was angry to Velutha. Baby Kochama pretend to stop mamachi, but she actually made mamachi became more furious to Velutha and Ammu. I think Baby Kochama is a character who make all situations bad and do everything to satisfy herself. Even if child, Baby Kochama doesn't hesitate to threat children.

I dont think that Baby Kochamma is cruel to everyone and everything, its just that she strictly follows her family religion and if someone does not follow it or obey it she gets mad because she disagrees with it not because she just is cruel and doesn't think about what she says.

Yes, I am agree with what you are saying about Baby K. is just following strict family religion. However, in the book she seems like not following strict religion, but making she's own belief that can be benefit to herself. That is why she trying to get everyone out of her house who did something wrong.

Baby Kochama is extremely manipulative. In the end of the book she convinces Estha to say that Velutha kidnapped him and Rahel. This was merely so that the police didn't have an innocent death on their hands due to the policemen beating Velutha up. Baby also was the one that fought to have Estha sent to live with Babu. She definitely is only fighting for what she wants, not her religion, or her family.
