Rajmohan Gandhi's book on Mahatma Gandhi has created a controversy mainly because one of the chapters is devoted to Gandhiji's relations with Saraladevi Choudharani whom he called his spiritual wife. Girja Kumar gives a more vivid characterisation of this relationship in his book which was released last year. This book, in fact, gives an authentic account of the Mahatma's relations with various other women associates and the repercussions these romantic liaisons produced on those close to him, including 'Ba' (Kasturba Gandhi).

Media Reviews

Kumar's study is a result of sedulous research, couched in an emotionally inflected narrative which captures the delicately shifting currents in Gandhi's relations with his female acolytes such as Esther Faering or Madeleine Slade.
