Kasturba Gandhi: “I cannot imagine life without Kasturba”
Strength in Sacrifice: Kasturba “Ba” Gandhi was Mahatma Gandhi’s wife and lifelong partner in the fight for justice. This episode tells of Kasturba’s quiet strength from South Africa to India, she was repeatedly jailed for resistance alongside Gandhi and often tended to the family and followers when he could not. Her patience, counsel, and moral conviction were a bedrock for Gandhi’s movement. We illuminate how Kasturba’s steadfast presence and personal sacrifices helped fortify one of history’s greatest campaigns for freedom, exemplifying the profound impact of a supportive life partner.
“I cannot imagine life without Kasturba… If anything, she stood above me. But for her unfailing co-operation, I might have been in the abyss. She helped me to keep wide awake and true to my vows.” – Mahatma Gandhi
