Entry to Freedom Movement
Many Leaders were coming to Bangalore during that time. By 1942, he had completed his B.Sc and had joined a college as a lecturer. In August, the Quit India freedom movement started, where students participated in large numbers. He along with his brother H S Seetharam, Sardar Venkataramaiah and A G Ramachandra Rao planned moving together against the British. H. S. Seetharam later become a mayor of Bangalore. They were involved in making Time Bombs, which were used to damage government documents. When he was jailed for the first time for 14 months, he decided to follow Gandhi's ideals of non-violence and Satyagraha. He established a book store and publishing depot, where literary figures like R. K. Narayan and K.S. Narasimhaswamy were frequent visitors. It served as a cultural center in those days.
In 1947, in the Mysore Chalo Movement, his newspaper published many articles against the government. Eventually, the government took control of the press and seized it. A teacher named Sheshagiri helped circulate the newspaper during this press closure.
