Imagine you’re 14 years old, away from family, and news comes that you’re going to jail. How would you feel? Nervous? Worried?

Or excited, like Manu Gandhi? In 1942, when Manu, the grand-niece of Gandhi, heard that she could join India’s freedom struggle, she jumped with joy. This podcast, based on Manu Gandhi's diaries, is the second episode in a special three-part podcast series by The Quint on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birthday on 2nd October.
