In the article titled, "My Sorrow, My Shame", Gandhi had criticised the shortcomings of his wife Kasturba

The act of Kasturba Gandhi of keeping Rs four with her 'unlawfully' had irked the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi and prompted him to write an article about her lapse, records show.

At a time when the world is set to celebrate his 150th birth anniversary Tuesday, a 1929 article which appeared in 'Navajivan', a weekly newspaper published by Gandhi, reveals his

uncompromising stand for truth and ethics.

"Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it would be a breach of duty if I did not," Gandhji pointed out.

The 'Father of the Nation" said he had not hesitated to count many of the merits of Kasturba in his autobiography, but "she has got weaknesses too which mar these virtues." Although she had

given away all the money considering it to be the duty of a wife, "an ununderstandable, worldly desire still persists" in her, the Mahatma noted.

Instead of giving away the money to the office, according to the usual rule, she kept it with herself." Referring to the act as "theft" in the article, Gandhi said one of the inmates had

later pointed to her about the mistake, leaving her repentant.

In all humility, she gave back the money and vowed that such a thing would not be repeated.

"I believe hers was a honest repentance. She has taken a vow that she would leave me and the mandir, if any other lapse committed in the past is detected, or if she is caught doing the same

thing again in future.

Freedom fighter and staunch Gandhian Ayyappan Pillai,said to be 106 years old, said there is nothing to be amused if Kasturba's trivial lapse formed the subject of Mahatma's article.

He was the personification of self-righteousness and wanted everyone around him to be morally correct and transparent," he told PTI.

Gandhi, however, had also waxed eloquent about the virtues and good qualities of his wife in the same article.

"I consider her life to be pure. She has sacrificed a great deal thinking it to be her duty as a wife... She has not stood in the way of my renunciation," Gandhiji added.
