Gandhi loved Jewish architect, biography says March 28, 2011 (JTA) -- Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi left his wife for a German-Jewish architect and weight lifter, a new biography says.
The new book, "Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India," by former New York Times executive editor Joseph Lelyveld, reports that Gandhi was in love with Hermann Kallenbach, for whom he left his wife in 1908.
Kallenbach was born in Germany but moved to South Africa, where he became a busy architect. He reportedly lived with Gandhi for two years in a house he built in South Africa, according to the Daily Mail. The men remained in touch by letters after Gandhi returned to India in 1914, and Kallenbach was denied entry.
The book says that Gandhi wrote to Kallenbach: "How completely you have taken possession of my body. This is slavery with a vengeance."
The book also alleges that Gandhi tested himself by getting into bed with young women, including his great niece, to see if it would affect him.

More from the weird...
“I must point out that my rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.” ~Winston Churchill (1874–1965) British Prime Minister. Said during a lunch with the Arab leader Ibn Saud, when he heard that the king’s religion forbade smoking and alcohol. The Second World War, 1948-54
By India or Gandhi?

They corresponded in He-blew.
"You are a very bad man."
Nice guy, but let’s face it...he was no great looker. Those girls he tested himself with were probably screaming and vomiting. “No...I’m testing myself...really...don’t hit me with that stick, I’m non-violent.”
Shill Lesson #7: Reinforcing Tenuous Memes
7.1. Often meme subject matter will be untenable to it's target audience because of exceeding the tolerance threshold of the target audience.
7.2. In such a case, secondary reinforcement is necessary by support Shills.
7.3. This reinforcement can be a backup provision, or part of the original meme strategy.
7.4. Generally, an intensification of the grotesque, insulting or offensive aspect of the meme should be comnined with humor, so as to invoke contradictory emotional states that will serve to lower defense thresholds in the target audience.
7.5. Operators should proceed without concern for detection, since the target audience has been confirmed as far too trusting and limited in training to ever percieve these manipulations.
7.6. This is, of course, necessary preconditions for meme insertions, otherwise the target audience, historically, will hunt them down like the traitors to the human race they really are.
I thought Gandhi was fond of dipping his bald head in oil and then rubbing it all over the goiter lady’s naked body.
Shill Lesson #8: Responding to Exposure
8.1. If exposed, it is important to never change the tactics that have been exposed, thereby reinforcing the impression of Shill invulnerability.
8.2. In addition, if exposed, an escalation of the intensity of the tactics is often helpful.
8.3. Be aware that in choosing what to escalate, if the insult is escalated instead of the humor, it will often give away your irritation or alarm over being exposed, thus nullifying the effect desired by 8.1.
8.4. Always contact a supervisor for further instructions in writing, or transfer of assignment, if exposed, to make sure blowback does not expose your incompetency.
8.5. Remember, you're invisible, and you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Not much of a revelation. This has been known, or at least asserted, for decades.
Yeah, yeah, everyone was queer. It’s NORMAL, don’t ya know.....
Sorry to say I did not know this about Gandhi. Could be because he is one of the few prominent figures that never interested me, so I didn’t read about him. Very surprising to me to find that he was homo.
I have no idea if it’s true or not. But homos are very expert of “outing” people as homos who aren’t around any more to defend themselves.
Is that a t-square in his pants, or was he just happy to see him?
Well, yes, there was that.
(Not that there's anything wrong with that....)
(Seinfeld ping. Want on or off? Just let jolly old Sid Fields know!)
This is more like Susan’s father’s cabin fire. John Cheever!
