కస్తూరిబాయి గాంధీకి ఎంతమంది కుమారులు?
Kasturba and Gandhi had five sons, with their eldest dying at a young age. Although the proceeding four sons survived to adulthood, Kasturba never fully recovered from the death of her first child. The first two sons were born before Gandhi first went abroad. Later on, in 1906, Gandhi took a vow of chastity, or brahamacharya. Some reports indicated that Kasturba felt that this opposed her role as a traditional Hindu wife. However, Kasturba quickly defended her marriage when a friend suggested she was unhappy. Kasturba's relatives also insisted that the greatest good was to remain and obey her husband, the Mahatma. When he left to study in London in 1888, she remained in India to raise their newborn son Harilal. The couple later had three more sons: Manilal, Ramdas, and Devdas. Kasturba's relationship with her husband can be described by the following extract from Ramachandra Guha's novel "Gandhi Before India"; "They had, in the emotional as well as sexual sense, always been true to one another. Perhaps because of their periodic, extended separations, Kasturba deeply cherished their time together."
