It tries to show how the Gandhian politics had affected on the actions of the villagers in their struggle against the British Raj. They fought non- violently with the strength of 'Satyagraha'(soul force) for freedom. The events of the novel, Kanthapuramove around the effect of Gandhian non-violence. This novel has become such a document which is presented as a mirror of Gandhi's activities. Practising the Gandhian principles, the villagers keep the hope ofbeing free from the British reign. Then they start the struggle against the British Raj but they cannot have the success at the end. They have to face the migration from their own village.
