A beautiful informative poem about Mahatma Gandhi. I, too, was married at a young age while my wife was in her teens.
Mohandas soon Assumed the role of An authoritative husband! As Kasturba was illiterate He was anxious to educate her. But his “lustful love left no time” For any kind of serious study. A rare confession, indeed! child marriage, arranged marriages in india, stll in the 20th centuary... indian customs, religious thinking, societal thinking, so much is in this poem which makes one to think a lot. thank you. tony
The boy and girl Ignorant, Naive, Take the seven steps playfully, Unaware of the significance Of the nuptial knot 'Unwittingly hurled into the Ocean of life! '...... but his lustful love......... a rare confession..... Ghandhiji was true to himself, his soul, his conscience and his God............such a great poem dear Gita
