DANDI
The title is ‘Dandi’, the name of the hero in the novel also Dandi. He is highly influenced by
the most important events of Indian independence movement held between 1904 to 1942
and its surrounding socio-political national and state level events and leaders. In fact the
hero of the novel ‘Dandi’ wanted to become like other of his contemporary leaders. His aim
was to support the national cause, but somehow he went astray, missed the path of the
national cause and became the murderer. Now, again he is in search of his original path of
truth and non-violence.
Dr. Ragam’s novel Dandi being the historical novel, narrates the whole story of Coastal
Karnataka and its serious involvement in the historical Dandi March.
On 26th January 1930 Gandhi at Dandi a village in Gujarat started the Dandi movement i.e.
salt march and declared Indians struggle for independence. Consequently the people of
costal Karnataka repeated the same action at Ankole on 13th April 1930. The socio political
organizations such as ‘Karnataka Satyagraha Madala’ and ‘Hindustani Seva Dala’ planned
the complete movement. At different places like South Canara, North Canara, Sanekatta,
Bangre, Poojigere and Honnavara the salt march was successfully arranged, which called the
attention of whole nation towards Karnataka.
The personality of the hero Dandi is basically shaped by this movement representing the
struggle of youths for freedom.Through this he wants to show his gratitude towards his
motherland.
Simultaneously with the story of Dandi the novel explains the involvement of the whole
community of Ager, Moger, Halakki, Gowdasaraswat, Havyak, Deshavari Brahmin, Nadava,
Karvi and Kunabi societies.
