Mohan does locate Kaveriamma, who is overjoyed to see him. He finds out that his nanny has re-located, and after several inquiries he finds out that she lives in Charanpur - a place famous for the actual markings of the footsteps of Lord Ram and Devi Maa Sita when they were on their 14-year exile from Ayodhya.

He impulsively decides to travel to India, and see how his nanny is doing. He gets a little homesick, and reminisces about his life in India, his late parents, and his nanny, Kaveriamma. Mohan is employed with N.A.S.A., and has been assigned to the task of measuring precipitation, which he accepts. Of East Indian origin, Mohan Bhargav is one of the millions of Non-residential Indians settled in the United States of America. Soon, Mohan finally realizes that it is his scientific temperament as well as his understanding of societal complexities that can drive the villagers to participate in a movement to better their lives. Mohan befriends the local postmaster Nivaran, stuck to his old-fashioned ways, and the village children, whose future is inextricably linked with that of the country. Along the way he encounters the quirky but endearing Mela Ram, who sees Mohan as his ticket to the chain of restaurants he will start on the American freeways.

Mohan begins to interact with the Panchayat, which has at the helm the dogmatic but the just village chief. Mohan finds his nanny, Kaveriamma, the symbol of motherhood, in a village called Charanpur with an admirable young woman Gita and her younger brother Chikku.

The India of SWADES is colorful, heterogeneous and complex and it is to this environment that Mohan Bhargava, a bright young scientist working as project manager in NASA, returns to, on a quest to find his childhood nanny.What begins as a simple mission prompted by nostalgia and affection turns into a journey to the heartland of rural India, both literally and metaphorically. Set in modern day India, SWADES tackles the issue facing the citizens of this nation at grassroots level.
