Born in 1911 in the illustrious Sarabhai family of Ahmedabad, Mridula came under the spell of Gandhi and left her palatial home to join the Salt Satyagraha. She was involved not only in the freedom struggle but also in the fight for women's equality, for the individual's right to dissent, and for the rights of minorities. This biography represents a page from the social and political history of modern India, over half a century seen through the life of one person.
