There were more than a dozen women who came tube closely associated with Gandhiji at one time or the other that included Millie Polak, Nilla Cram Cook. Mirabehn, Sushila Nayyar and Menu Gandhi. It is tus biography as well as the life-story of each one of them associated with him. Not to be mixed are the chapters relating to Sarla Devi. whom he claimed to be his "spiritual wife" and the failed romance of Mirabehn and Prithvi Singh Azad There is also to be found in the Appendix the exciting story of his association with "soul-mate' Hermann Kalenbach, breaking entirely new grounds. Finally, Gandhiji comes out as a contemporary as well as the timeless mahapurush.
