2min speech on kasturba gandhi

Kasturba Gandhi was political activist during the British rule in India. She was the wife of Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi (also Mahatma Gandhi). She also participated in the India?s struggle for Independence against the British rule.

She was born on April 11, 1869. Her earlier name was Kastur Kapadia. She was married to Mahatma Gandhi in 1883.

Kasturba was an unsophisticated simple and loving person. She was completely engrossed in furthering the cause of Indian freedom, which to her was her husband?s mission of life. She was a mother-figure to all the Ashramites. She participated in all the steps undertaken by Gandhiji wholeheartedly and with full dedication.

Kasturba Gandhi was big source of inspiration for Indian women during her time. The call for participating in the freedom movement by Gandhiji inspired many women of great integrity throughout the country. It is the result of all these efforts that in post-independent India, women are taking part and serving in all branches of life and administration. They have proved their mettle in carrying on the responsibilities of high offices they are holding today.

Kasturba Gandhi died on February 22, 1944. But, she is still remembered as a great woman of her time.
