High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prabhavati Devi (1906 — 1973) was at the forefront of freedom struggle in Bihar. She was born in Shrinagar now in Siwan district in Bihar to Brajkishore Prasad and Phool Devi. Brajkishore Prasad was himself an ardent Gandhian perhaps the first Congressman in Bihar who had given up a lucrative legal practise to devote himself to freedom struggle. She was married to Jayaprakash Narayan who went off to the US to study Marxism in Iowa. She moved to Gandhi's ashram where she devoted herself completely to Kasturba Gandhi who started regarding her as her daughter. She also built up a very close relationship with Kamala Nehru and became her confidante. She also spent time in gaol on several occasions. Kamala Nehru wrote several letters to her when she was having problems with the Nehru family. All the letters were returned to Indira Gandhi by her husband following her death but a few somehow found their way into the press after Jayaprakash Narayan's death which demonstrate the ill treatment she received at the hands of the Nehru family as she came from a less suave background.
