The first that young Sriram knows of Gandhi's visit to Malgudi is when a beautiful girl waves a collection box under his nose. His admiration for the quick-witted Bharati leads him to leave Malgudi and join the Quit India campaign, only to find his convictions tested by the rigours of imprisonment.
