Who was Gangubai Kathiawadi (Gangubai Kathiawadi)
Gangubai was born in 1939 and their real name was Ganga Harjivandas, who lived in Kathiawar, Gujarat. Gangubai's family was a very prosperous family but Ganga's dreams were different.
Early life of Gangubai Kathiawadi
According to the book 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai' by noted author and journalist S Hussain Zaidi, a naive 16-year-old girl from Gujarat falls madly in love with a boy older than her. Goes against the family and gets married. All these things are from Gangubai's life.
Gangubai, formerly known as Ganga Harjivandas, was a wealthy family of Ganga. His father had a shop, his father had hired a new accountant at that shop. That accountant was living in Bombay. The accountant's name was Ramnik Lal.
Along with being smart in studies, Ganga had the dream of a successful actress in her mind. He just had to go to Bombay by any means and fulfill his dream. As soon as he came to know that his father had hired a new babu and that he had also lived in Bombay, he thought of befriending Ramnik Lal.
Ganga befriends Ramnik and gradually this friendship turned into love, the love became so much that both of them decided to get married. When Ganga told her father that she and Ramnik both love each other very much and want to get married, her father flatly refused. But if no one came in front of love, then how could the words of the father go? Both of them decided to run away and get married.
A girl from a small village like Kathiawar did not know from where did she get so much courage that she would run away and get married. But whatever it was, she eloped with Ramnik and got married and went straight to Bombay.
Bombay This is the place where Ganga wanted to come to fulfill her dream for a long and she was in Bombay after getting married, she could not believe it. Ganga gradually began to see her husband's face clearly, as they used to quarrel over small things.
Journey from Ganga to Gangubai
When there is no money in the pocket, the man breaks down and that was happening with Ramnik. They fled to Bombay, but how did the whole life go ahead? With no job in hand and no roof to live in, man gets ready to do any work. Ramnik sells his wife Ganga to a Kotha wala in Kamathipura, a famous place in Mumbai, for only 500 rupees.
Ramnik tells Ganga that he is going out of Bombay to find work so for some days he will stay with his aunt at their house, after getting work I will take you from aunt's house. Ganga continued to do what Ramnik said, little did she know that it was not the house of Ramnik's aunt but a brothel.
After staying for a few days, she came to know that Ramnik would never come to pick her up, and now after this situation, she cannot even go to her village. Then Ganga, who was relentlessly living, accepted this brothel as her home. Ever since Ganga came to that place, she was in the discussion, everyone there used to call her Gangu.
Gangu's kotha used to fall in Kamathipura and when a dreaded goon named Shaukat Khan also came to know that a new girl has come into the kotha and is very beautiful. So the next day he reaches the kotha and drags Ganga and makes physical relations without her consent. He drags her, beats and beats her. He goes without paying any money for it.
For the first time, Ganga did not understand anything, but for the second time also when she forced her, she decided that she would get Shaukat Khan punished. When he inquired from his surroundings, he came to know his name and the name of his owner Karim Lala (Gangubai Kathiawadi Karim Lala). Arriving at Karim Lala's base and pleaded for justice, for the first time a woman had demanded justice from Karim Lala in such a fearless manner.
Karim Lala assured him that next time Shaukat comes, tell me I will cure him. On this assurance, Ganga tied a thread in Karim Lala's hand and made him her brother. When Shaukat came for the third time, Karim Lala had also reached after hearing the news of Khabri, Karim hit Shaukat so much that he became half-dead.
Together they declared that Gangu is my sister's mouth, with this, if anyone forces her after today, then she will lose her life. After that incident, Gangu became 'Gangubai'.
The dominance of Gangubai became so much that Kotha (Gangubai Kathiawadi Kamathipura) of Kamathipura was named after her. Then with his domineering avatar, he did many good deeds for the prostitutes working in the brothel. The goons were afraid to enter that room. Took the responsibility of educating the children of prostitutes. She did not keep the girls who came without her consent in her room.
Gangubai was 'Gangu Maa' for the girls living on the cottage, also met the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to talk about their rights.
Gangubai's explosion was so much that no work in Kamathipura was done without her asking, which meant that for doing any small work, she had to come to her house.
To capitalize on this power, someone asked him to enter politics, the entire Azad Maidan was filled to hear his speech and the coverage of his speech was on the front page of all the newspapers of 1960. The speech was also strong, the whole of Bombay was stunned by that speech.
