It turned out to be a 135-page diary written by Kasturba Gandhi, from January to September 1933. Somewhat like Kasturba, her diary lay forgotten and neglected. This book is a reproduction of the diary, accompanied by a transcription of what she has written in Gujarati, along with an English translation by her great-grandson, Tushar Gandhi.All her life, Kasturba was considered uneducated and unlettered. Initially when Tushar Gandhi spoke about the diary to family members, they refused to believe that there could be such a thing: 'She was illiterate. She could not write.' As Tushar read Kasturba's diary, this assumption was dispelled. It provided a glimpse into who she was-an individual, a companion and a satyagrahi in her own right, unlettered but astute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins India","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087340658839,"sku":"9789356991200","price":260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789356991200.webp?v=1769202706","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-lost-diary-of-kastur-my-ba-9789356991200","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
