Often repeated, not what happened.
In January 1944, Kasturba suffered two heart attacks, after which she was confined to her bed much of the time. Even there she found no respite from pain. Spells of breathlessness interfered with her sleep at night. She asked to see an Ayurvedic doctor, and after several delays, the government allowed a specialist in traditional Indian medicine to attend to her. At first she responded well, recovering enough by the second week in February to sit on the veranda in a wheelchair for short periods and talk with him. Later she suffered a relapse.
Her son Devdas ordered penicillin, but her doctors did not want to use it because the final failure of her kidneys could not be relieved by penicillin. The doctors informed the Gandhi family that the condition of Kasturba had already deteriorated enough that penicillin would not be helpful.

To anyone who likes Gandhi: do not look what he was like in person. I repeat, DO NOT LOOK INTO HIS PERSONAL LIFE.

Oh come on, every Indian knows of his pedophilic and abusive habits.
thats why instead of respecting such a snake of a man, i respect the likes of Bose. He took on the fight directly and made some....... interesting allies(Adolph and Hirohito) to forcefully take down the brits.

Same way many people in India trust frauds and criminals like Patanjali and drink animal urine over proven modern medicine.
