Gandhi Jayanthi is just another holiday and observing two minute silence on Martyrs' Day is very yesterday. Gandhigiri is outdated. But a blog on Gandhi has evoked keen interest. No wonder, it mentions about Gandhi having slept and bathed with naked women. Well that is one way of popularizing the blog. Interestingly, people have already started passing adverse comments on Gandhi’s naked truth.
Even if the revelations are true, I feel, Gandhi’s intention was to test his restraint. Whatever be the means, the women who took part in this ‘Gandhigiri’ should have resisted. They had every opportunity to refuse or write a bestseller.
Today we have horny Rathores, leaders, swamis and an Italian Prime Minister who are making headlines for their sexploits. Had they exercised restraint like Gandhi, we would not have had cases of rape and molestation. It would be wise to remember (if at all) Gandhi for the sacrifices he made for our country. We have already made a mess of ‘independent’ India . So Gandhi’s experiment with naked women in his bedroom or bathroom need not rattle us. We can get going without a blink like we do on Martyrs' Day.
