We know the leader. But the man was… complicated.




British historian J. Adams in his book "Gandhi: Naked Ambition" points out that apart from political life, Mahatma Gandhi had a spiritual life.


Where he resisted worldly pleasures


Gandhi got married at the age of 13. At the age of 38 - when he is a father of four children - heBecame 'celibate' or celibate.


He also advised his followers in his ashram to stay away from sexual life


Even married couples were told to abstain from sex, Adams said


Gandhi wrote in his autobiography that when his father died - he could not be with his father because he was having sex with his wife - this guilt haunted him.fences


He often slept naked next to women - some of them younger girls - to test his repressed sexuality.


Such information emerges in the writings of Michael Connellan and Mayukh Sen.


Towards the end he slept naked in the same bed as his teenage niece. Without touching her, she wanted to make sure he wasn't a sexual predator.


However, in the writings of historian Ramchandra Guha, the matter comes up differentlyhas arrived


He writes that Gandhi embarked on a controversial experiment in Noakhali, Bengal, amid fierce Hindu-Muslim riots over the partition of India. He asked his granddaughter and lifelong companion Manu Gandhi to sleep in the same bed with him.


He wanted to test whether he had completely conquered his sexual desire.

He believes that women are the reason why men have their basic sexual impulsescan't control


He could not see women trying to make themselves attractive to men. "She had a strong distaste for modern hairstyles and clothing."


Gandhi believed that sex between men and women should only be for procreation and not for pleasure.


In this way he used to suppress his followers and show his power over them and this experiment he did most often with his wife Kasturba -Written by Mayukh Sen.


This isn't about canceling a hero, but about understanding the full, complicated picture of what it means to strive for greatness.


I'm fascinated by the untold stories of history's most influential figures. What's your take on this aspect of Gandhi's life? Let's have a respectful discussion in the comments.
