One day, a letter comes from the Indian Army stating that Ram should return to the Indo-Chinese border since his holidays are over. Ram engages in a debate with his father where he wishes to leave the army. But he ultimately bids farewell to his village and Suman. On reaching the border, he refuses to take part in the Sino-Indian War since he believes in non-violence or ahimsa. Frustrated, the army sentences him to two years in Civil Jail for not abiding to the orders of his seniors. Fortunately, Ram runs away from the police and is roaming in the mountains of the northeast.
Later, he turns himself in and seeks forgiveness for his refusal to listen to orders by spying for India. He is sent to Beijing from where he passes on many important Chinese secrets to India, helping them win the war. Later, Jawaharlal Nehru awards him with the country's highest military honor. After the war, he marries Suman and the two live happily together.
