Description
This work is the result of a lifetime of research by Arun Gandhi, grandson of the Mahatma and Kasturba.
As well as recounting historical events behind he birth of a nation, it is also a love story, which ended with the terrible tragedy of Gandhi's assassination in New Delhi in 1948.
Kastur Kapadia was betrothed to Mohandas Gandhi when they ere just seven years old. The couple married when they were thirteen and Kastur had five children, the first of whom was born when she was sixteen.
Until now, Gandhi's biographers have dwelled upon his legend. This biography is he powerful story of two human beings, triumphing together against overwhelming odds.
