S1 E9 Kaumudi Teacher

In this episode, we meet the young girl who went on to be known across India in later life as Kaumudi Teacher, the remarkable 16-year-old who captured Gandhi's heart with an extraordinary act of sacrifice. Born into royalty in Kerala, she stunned the Mahatma in 1934 by donating all her gold jewellery to his cause before a gathered crowd. This devoted Gandhian became Kerala's first Hindi teacher, remained unmarried by choice, and spent her life promoting khadi and working in ashrams. Let's discover how one teenager's spontaneous generosity became a legendary moment in India's independence movement.
