Ghandi was a sick puppy, obsessed with bowel movements and sleeping with underage, nude girls. He's another example of the media looking the other way.
Read the book The Gandhi Nobody Knows by Richard Grenier (1983) who says "Little do people know about his sheer disregard for his family amid his soaring popularity ."
"SOCIAL LIFE: Little do people know (ok, people in the know know of this one) of his sleeping with pretty teenage girl followers in the buff in the "ashram" who cuddled the nude septuagenarian in their arms. Pretext: he was 'testing' his vow of chastity in order to gain moral strength for his mighty struggle with Jinnah. Meanwhile, his daily morning greeting to his women followers in the morning was "Have you had a good bowel movement this morning, sisters?" There's lots more.
I hate to "clast" icons, but he was a sick puppy. Not quite sure I'd want him as a role model or leader figure.
According to Gandhi's own wife, he tried sex once, and it made him physically ill. He never attempted it again.
