Heroes as Victims in Chaman Nahal�s the Crown and the Loincloth

Dr. G. Chenna Reddy

Abstract :

Chaman Nahal’s ‘The Quartet’ which is a ‘Gandhian Saga’ deals with most of the major incidents and movements of the freedom struggle. The first novel The Crown and the Loincloth deals with the first phase of the freedom struggle, the Non–Cooperation Movement. Gandhi is not deeply involved with his family. He spends most of his life in fighting against the problems of society exploitation, slavery and untouchability. Sunil the protagonist of the novel struggles like Gandhi in his life throughout the novel. He enters the freedom struggle against the wishes of his father. He is beaten to death by General Dyer. The novel concludes with the tragic death of Sunil. Both these two heroes sacrificed everything including their lives for the sake of Indian Freedom Movement. No doubt they are heroes as well as victims for the sake of the noble cause.
