Gandhi's grandfather was the Diwan of Porbandar and his mother's family managed the main Pranami temple of Porbandar. Just think what sort of a family background Kasturba would have come from.

Gandhi forced her to do what he did - his Harijan Seva and all, he gave away all her jewel - the ones which she brought from her parents, forced her to wear that coarse khadi, she saw her son ruined before her eyes because of Gandhi's obstinacy(he died of syphillis later)

and ultimately died of depression. What sort of a life she envisioned before marriage and what sort of a life she got? I am sure she would have cursed her parents daily for sending him to England for his education.

And the hypocrite he is, he refused Allopathic medicines for her even after his son begged Gandhi to get her medicines but he himself took them when he needed them. His apathy led to her death. And Devdas Gandhi never spoke with his father after this incident of 1942.

I am sure many would have cursed Gandhi for her treatment but the sort of dictator he is(as Jinnah puts it), no one would have risked siding her in public and get his or her political career ruined.

All I ask is this. A person whose failed on the home front, how can you expect him to be successful anywhere else? Had he left them to their own devices, may be, they would have been much happier.

Left image is what she would have wanted in life. Right image is what she got.
