Lakshman Jhula
- Our hero discusses wearing the sacred thread and the shikha, symbols of Hinduism.
- He says he's indifferent to the sacred thread and feels it shouldn't be a symbol of spiritual regeneration until Hinduism purges itself of untouchability.
- The shikha, however, Gandhi decides to regrow because cowardice was the reason he discarded it before—he thought Englishmen would consider him barbaric for it.
