The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 4, Chapter 28 Summary

Kasturbai's Courage

  • Kasturbai, Gandhi's wife, becomes terribly ill.
  • The doctor deceives her and gives her beef tea for her health.
  • She and Gandhi dislike this, and Kasturbai refuses to have any more beef tea.
  • The doctor says he won't have her die under his roof, so Gandhi takes her home.
  • Sticking to her traditional religion, she lives, refusing the advice of anyone telling her to eat meat.
