Description:

We Call Her Ba is an illuminating and warmly written biography of Kasturba Gandhi — the remarkable woman who stood quietly but steadfastly beside the Father of the Nation through some of India's most turbulent decades. Written by Sahitya Akademi award-winning author Subhadra Sen Gupta and published by Pratham Books, this accessible account brings to life a woman whose strength, willpower, and courage have long been overshadowed by her famous husband. Far from a passive figure, Kasturba was a woman of deep conviction who sacrificed personal comfort for the freedom movement, faced imprisonment without flinching, and forged her own identity even as she walked beside Mahatma Gandhi. Illustrated by Neeta Gangopadhya and written with the author's characteristic warmth and gentle humour, this is an essential introduction to one of India's most inspiring but undersung historical figures. Recommended for readers aged 9 and above.
