Kasturba: Wife of Gandhi by Sushila Nayyar is a biographical account of the life of Kasturba Gandhi, the wife of the renowned Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. The book traces Kasturba's life from her early years in Porbandar, Gujarat, to her marriage to Gandhi at the age of 13, and her subsequent involvement in the Indian freedom struggle. The book sheds light on Kasturba's role in supporting Gandhi's philosophy of non-violent resistance, as well as her own contributions to the Indian independence movement. It also explores the challenges she faced as a woman in a patriarchal society, including her struggles with illiteracy and her role as a wife and mother. Throughout the book, Nayyar presents a nuanced portrait of Kasturba, highlighting her strengths as well as her flaws. She also situates Kasturba's life within the broader historical and political context of India during the early 20th century. Overall, Kasturba: Wife of Gandhi offers a compelling and insightful look at the life of a remarkable woman who played a pivotal role in India's struggle for independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
