Behramji M Malabari: A Biographical Sketch

The most interesting portions of this book are those which give us a peep into an Indian home—that of Mr. Malabari and his family, revealing the life of the young reformer; his aspirations; the weakness and the strength of his character; the influence of women on his youthful training; his devotion to their cause in after life. We see how much he owed to his mother, a remarkable woman, of strong will, masterful mind, and irresistible energy; yet a simple, homely housewife, with the tenderest heart. She said: “All the boys in the street are my own sons‚” when, for her own son, thought to be dying, a specific was pressed upon her which would have injured another boy.
