Who is Kasturba Gandhi from the film, Gandhi?

Kasturba Gandhi is Gandhi's beautiful wife. When he first begins his fight against injustice, she thinks he is crazy. He wants to create a community that doesn't follow the old traditions, but she hates that idea.

Over time, Kasturba becomes Gandhi's most loyal helper. She agrees to let go of the old ways for fair ways, and she even speaks to women publicly about their rights. Kasturba and Gandhi live many years as brother and sister rather than husband and wife, but she is happy to be by his side in this important fight.
