కొల్లాయి గట్టితే నేమి?

Set against the surge of a mass political movement, the novel shows how public campaigns reshape everyday lives and relationships. It moves between communal meetings and intimate hostel scenes to reveal debates over symbols like homespun cloth, temperance, and nonviolent pledges, and the tensions they create among young friends torn between personal ambition and collective duty. Through overlapping episodes of political organizing, moral reckonings, and ordinary domestic details, the narrative charts social and economic pressures, the forging of new loyalties, and the uneasy adjustments demanded by changing public ideals.
