She was pressured by her mom and it was actually quite common at that time to a man named Gopa Rao Joshi. He was a progressive thinker and unusually for that time, he strongly supported education for women. At the age of 14, Anandi Bai gave birth to a boy who passed her wages ten days later. Due to the lack of medical care. This proved to be a turning point in our Undy's life and inspired her to become a physician
