Mirabehn was born on November 22, 1892, in England. She came from a wealthy family and had a privileged upbringing. However, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's principles of nonviolence and truth, she decided to renounce her privileged life and dedicate herself to the Indian independence movement.
In 1925, Mirabehn traveled to India and met Mahatma Gandhi. She became deeply involved in his work and embraced a simple lifestyle. Gandhi gave her the name "Mirabehn" as a reflection of her spiritual qualities.
Mirabehn actively participated in various nonviolent campaigns and protests during the freedom struggle. She worked closely with Gandhi, assisting him in his efforts and becoming one of his closest associates. Her commitment to Gandhian principles earned her respect and recognition among the Indian freedom fighters.
After India gained independence in 1947, Mirabehn continued to live in India, working on social and welfare projects. She spent the rest of her life promoting Gandhian ideals, simplicity, and rural development.
Mirabehn passed away on July 20, 1982, in India. Her life and dedication to Mahatma Gandhi's principles remain an important part of the history of India's struggle for freedom and the philosophy of nonviolence.
