Santosh Singh Dwivedi, President of Madhya Pradesh Sarvodaya Mandal, said about the struggle of Kasturba, that the Struggle is one thing for the faith and decision of self, but second is the struggle for the decision and trust of his husband Mohandas.
Walking on the path of honesty and sacrifice shows the personality trait of Ba. When Jill Sister asked about the birthdate and death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, all children answered quickly, but when she asked the same about Baa, they all went silent. Then she said that this day is our endeavors to give proper respect to Ba, by changing this attitude of all of us by not creating the indifference of the woman and man. And specially of the woman whose personality is so strong, whose contribution is important in our freedom struggle.
