“Only two sons of mine have gone to jail, but twenty thousand sons of Mother India are in jail. How can I bemoan my fate?” said Kasturba Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi highlights Kasturba’s selfless devotion in his autobiography. She led a simple life. Kasturba toured various states, spreading the message of freedom and Swadeshi. She called upon women to take to khadi, and practice spinning. Her words came from the heart, and influenced the masses. Kasturba had to sacrifice her family life as her husband was frequently in jail. At the time of the Dandi March, Stree Swarajya Sangh was formed. This was headed by Kasturba and Mithu Ben. They led the boycott of foreign clothes and the picketing of liquor shops. Kasturba was arrested several times. On February 24th, 1944 Kasturba passed away in prison wearing the khadi sari spun by Mahatma Gandhi.
