Kasturba----- salute to a legendary woman

 Isn't it very strange that the real person behind the achievers always stay behind the curtain. And its always beyond my understanding that why NATURE set this philosophy. Nature create circumstances to keep the real creator behind the achiever. We always salute Mahatma Gandhi for his precious  gift (Freedom) to us. We have seen a lot of films, documentaries etc on his life. But I was always curious to know about her wife Kasturba. As i have not much listened and read about her. In study time all the books just finger out Mahatma as a Legend.

                                          But With God's grace i found a book on Kasturba and that is "THE UNTOLD STORY OF KASTURBA" . Although this book is much more about the gandhi family as a whole but even then it seems sound to read it and know about the things about kastur. But i am sure if you read My experiments with truth you find the similar things there too. Arun Gandhi wrote good enough for her from his side but even then it feel like still something is missing in this book too to know about her.

I personally felt attached and inspired alot after reading this book and about her life, that how she worked to stand with the most important person of the 20th century. She changed herself and proved that she is the strength of Gandhi. But is this enough to say? of course not, because there are still a lot of  unsaid about her. She is the lady that actually scarifies every thing for the sake of her love and did everything that will be in favor of her husband and his dreams. i found book in narrative form mostly but even then there is a little happiness and calm in my mind that i found something worthy about this legendary woman. I was surprised that why not our scholors go for researches on her instead of mahatma gandhi. i came to know that there a lot to study about gandhi and about his philosophy but don.t you think that his philosophy must be of Kasturba? afterall they spet a lot of time together and she was the lady who stand in his every difficult time and proved that she is always their to support him. 

If we go through the chapters of history we will find her fighting for the same cause for which our BAPU was fighting. I just wish i could able to know much more about her. And about book this is really worthy to read.
