This retreat followed what had been a period of remarkable personal success for Gandhi. He had arrived in India from South Africa with a reputation for integrity and hard work, but he was, in fact, virtually unknown beyond a narrow, elite circle. Yet, without any power base of his own, he had – through deft timing and manoeuvre – seized control of the Indian National Congress, given it a new Constitution and structure, and managed to successfully draw together antagonistic groups, particularly Muslims and Hindus.
It is now extinct, but in those days it was a very influential body for settling disputes between the chiefs and their fellow clansmen. He was for some time Prime Minister in Rajkot and then in Vankaner. He was a pensioner of the Rajkot State when he died. Kaba Gandhi married four times in succession, having lost his wife each time by death. He had two daughters by his first and second marriages.

But his rich experience of practical affairs stood him in good stead in the solution of the most intricate questions and in managing hundreds of men. Of religious training he had very little, but he had that kind of religious culture which frequent visits to temples and listening to religious discourses make available to many Hindus. In his last days he began reading the Gita at the instance of a learned Brahman friend of the family, and he used to repeat aloud some verses every day at the time of worship.
