He used to wash his own clothes and do other household chores with his wife, Kasturba. They washed dishes and even cleaned their own toilets themselves. Many Indian and European guests used to come to their house. The new guests did not know about their system and so sometimes Kasturba had to clean toilets for their guests. One day she said, “Why should I clean the toilets of others? I hate doing it.” “Are you sure you won’t do it? I’ll do it then,” said Gandhi. Tears rolled down from Kasturba’s eyes.
