Gandhi's tests of temptation

mercredi 3 octobre 2018 à 02:00

Mahatma Gandhi tested his resistance to sexual temptation by sleeping with young naked women, and doing nothing sexual with them.

I find his religious ideas irrational, but I see no harm in what he did. Today's narrow-mindedness would call for putting him in prison.

Gandhi is not the Indian I most admire. That is Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, a firm rationalist and even firmer campaigner against bigotry.
