Chi Champa,
Whatever Magan Brother is doing (for you) that your aunt cannot do. He is unhappy that Prabhashankar is taking the share. `Baa` (Kasturba Gandhi) and Khan brother (Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan) also have expressed their unhappiness for the same. What can be done? It was understood as Madusudan`s.
Bapu`s blessings"

He was a political and spiritual leader known for his nonviolent opposition and lifelong pacifism; he was a devout Muslim and an advocate for Hindu–Muslim unity in the subcontinent.
