Gandhi romanticized Boer camp starvation as noble sacrifice

Evidence

Boer women understood that their religion required them to suffer in order to preserve their independence, and therefore, patiently and cheerfully endured all hardships … They starved, they suffered biting cold and scorching heat. Sometimes a soldier intoxicated by liquor or maddened by passion might even assault these unprotected women. Still the brave women did not flinch. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 194
