Kasturba Gokuldas Kapadia entered the world on the 11th of April 1869 in the coastal town of Porbandar. Her family belonged to the Modh Bania caste, a group of Gujarati Hindu tradesmen who lived along the western coast of India.
Her parents arranged her marriage to thirteen-year-old Mohandas Gandhi in May 1883 when she was only fourteen years old. The young couple did not understand the weight of their union at that time as tradition dictated that the bride spend her first few years living at her parents' home rather than with her husband.
Political engagement began for Kasturba in South Africa in 1904 when she helped establish the Phoenix Settlement near Durban. She joined protests against the mistreatment of Indian immigrants under British rule by 1913 and later led nonviolent protests against British rule in Rajkot after city women specifically requested her advocacy in 1939.
Chronic bronchitis plagued Kasturba due to complications present at birth and later complicated by pneumonia which worsened significantly over time. In January 1944, Kasturba suffered two heart attacks which confined her to bed for much of the time before she died at the Aga Khan Palace in Pune at 7:35 PM local time on the 22nd of February 1944.
The Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust Fund was established in her memory shortly after her passing to support women and children living in villages across India. Many institutions, roads, and cities now bear her name globally including Kasturba Gandhi College for Women, Kasturba Hospital in Wardha, Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, and Kasturba Nagar railway station.
