Episode #4: Kusum Sharma -  Bhikaiji Cama was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) in a large, well-off Parsi family. Her parents, Sorabji Framji Patel and Jaijibai Sorabji Patel were well known in the city. Her father Sorabji—a lawyer by training and a merchant by profession—was an influential Parsi community member. She was invited to hoist the flag over the parliament in Germany. On 3 August 1885, she married Rustom Cama, who was the son of K. R. Cama. Her husband was a wealthy, pro-British lawyer who aspired to enter politics. It was not a happy marriage, and Bhikhaiji spent most of her time and energy on philanthropic and social work.
