THE STORY OF KASTURBA GANDHI AND WHAT IT MEANT TO BE THE WIFE OF MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI.?I don?t know what evil resides in me,? he wrote to a friend. ?I have a streak of cruelty in me that compels people to attempt the impossible in order to please.?He is the Mahatma, a man the world venerates as a prophet of peace. But for Kastur, the child bride who married the boy next door, Mohandas was a sexually driven, self-righteous and overbearing husband.Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was sworn to poverty, celibacy and the cause of India?s freedom. Kastur spent sixty-two years of her life juggling the roles of a devoted wife, a satyagrahi and a sacrificing mother, who was eclipsed because of a man who almost became God for India?s multitude. Gandhi was an intolerant father to Harilal, his wayward son. Kasturba paid the price for her son?s unending misery.
