Describe Anandi’s journey back to India.

Answer»

The weather in the U.S.A. took its toll on Anandibai.* She developed tuberculosis. She always suffered from high fever and cough. Her husband admitted her to the Women’s Hospital in Philadelphia. The doctors advised her to go back to India. During the voyage the ship’s doctors refused to treat a brown woman. This further deteriorated her health. On reaching India, she stayed at Pune to receive treatment from a famous Ayurvedic specialist. But he refused saying, she had crossed the boundaries of society. On February 26, 1887, Anandibai succumbed to her disease.
