Cases in Corporate Ethics: 3.2: A Life of Struggle: Lakshimi Sahgal's felt the whole freedom struggle had gone wrong. Partition had been a disaster, and the modern pursuit of money had ruined all. Her dream of free women: she hoped to abolish child marriage, dowries and the ban on remarriage of widows.
