The Diary of Manu Gandhi: How Bapu Dealt With The Grief of Kasturba's Death

'But if one is fated to be motherless, how is one to get a mother?' When Manu Gandhi lost Kasturba — her dear Ba — she was shattered. When she'd entered the Sevagram ashram in Wardha in 1942, she'd just lost her mother. Now again, she was alone. But there was a difference. She was no longer a girl, she was a woman — with opinions and rebellions of her own. This is a special three-part series by The Quint on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birthday on 2nd October. This podcast is based on Manu Gandhi's diaries, written from 1943 to 1944. These diaries have now been released by Oxford University Press in the form of a book called "The Diary of Manu Gandhi" by Oxford University Press.
