The Civil Servant Is Primarily The Master

When [my Father] Asked Me To Help Him, I Really Didn't Suspect The Consequences.

I Said, I'll Put On Weight. And I Started Having Massages, Taking Cod-liver Oil, And Eating Twice As Much. But I Didn't Even Gain An Ounce. I'd Made Up My Mind That On The Day The Engagement Was Announced I'd Be Fatter, And I Didn't Gain An Ounce. Then I Went To Mussoorie, Which Is A Health Resort, And I Ignored The Doctors' Instructions; I Invented My Own Regime And Gained Weight. Just The Opposite Of What I'd Like Now. Now I Have The Problem Of Keeping Slim. Still I Manage. I Don't Know If You Realize I'm A Determined Woman.

Until I Was About Eighteen, Yes [i Didn't Want To Get Married]. But Not Because I Felt Like A Suffragette, But Because I Wanted To Devote All My Energies To The Struggle To Free India. Marriage, I Thought, Would Have Distracted Me From The Duties I'd Imposed On Myself.

To Be Liberated, Woman Must Feel Free To Be Herself, Not In Rivalry To Man But In The Context Of Her Own Capacity And Her Personality.

I've Always Discovered Things For Myself, In Marvelous Freedom.
