Kasturba Gandhi
- Margaret Bourke-White: [interviewing Ba in prison] Is it hard, being separated this way?
- Kasturba Gandhi: Yes. But we see each other in the day.
- Margaret Bourke-White: But not at night?
- Kasturba Gandhi: In Hindu philosophy the way to God is to free yourself of possessions, and the passions that inflame anger and jealousy. Bapu has always struggled to find the way to God.
- Margaret Bourke-White: You mean he gave up... married life?
- Kasturba Gandhi: Four times he tried, and failed. But then he took a solemn vow.
- Margaret Bourke-White: And he has never broken it?
- Kasturba Gandhi: Not yet.
- Kasturba Gandhi: Sora was sent to tell me I must rake and cover the latrine.
- Gandhi: Everyone takes his turn.
- Kasturba Gandhi: It is the work of untouchables!
- Gandhi: In this place, no work is beneath us.
- Kasturba Gandhi: I am your wife!
- Gandhi: [coldly] All the more reason.
- Kasturba Gandhi: I say with Gandhiji: There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.
- Gandhi: [telling his wife to do a menial chore] And you will do it with joy or not do it at all.
- Kasturba Gandhi: Not at all, then.
- Gandhi: [angrily pushing her out the door] All right, then, go! You don't belong here! Go! Leave the ashram! Get out altogether! We don't want you!
- Kasturba Gandhi: Have you no shame? I'm your wife! Where do you expect me to go?
- Kasturba Gandhi: Bapu has always said there were two kinds of slavery in India... one for women, one for the untouchables... and he has always fought against both.
