However, the procession was peaceful, true to the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent, passive resistance. When the procession reached the gate of the collector’s office, they were barred from entering. After some bickering with the DSP at the gate, the students turned their backs and walked off, chanting slogans. Babu and Manju were disappointed at the obvious lack of drama and action at the site of the protest.
