This article portrays two Gandhian Heroes, Moorthy in Kanthapura and Sriram in Waiting for the Mahatma, where Moorthy transform the life of an entire community from the bondage of high bound orthodoxy to struggle and sacrifice for an ideal and how Sriram transforms himself through the Impact of Gandhi which is transmitted through Bharathi. It also projects the fact that as an Indo-Anglian novelists. R.K.Narayan and Raja Rao are profoundly influenced by Gandhian idealism and that is reflected through their works.
