Gandhi


Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World written by Louis Fisher. This book is a biography of Mohandas Karamchad Gandhi. It talks about Gandhi's life such as his deep secretes to the public that we are. Those stuff we do not learn about my father, Gandhi. We left off when Gandhi was married to Karsturbai. How there emotions towards each other started changing.

Gandhi's emotions were changing a lot. He started getting jealous. He even started to get get very attracted to her. His emotions were changing all so much, mostly because of his age. He started getting addicted to sex. Who would have known that our dear Gandhi was such a sexually motivated man? He also vowed to calm his sexual life, because he would not just have sex with his wife, but other women too. He made a vow to not have sex again for an event that happened in life. The event had to do with his father’s death.

Gandhi’s celibacy is further complicated by what appears to have been a sense of guilt about sex. He was massaging his father Karamchand’s legs one evening, he tells us, when his passion aroused, he asked his uncle to relieve him and went to Kasturbai’s bed. In a few minutes a servant knocked and summoned Gandhi. But when he reached his father was dead. “If passion had not blinded me,” Gandhi ruminated forty years later, “ I should have been spared the torture of separation from my father during his last moments….The shame of my carnal desire at the last moments of my father’s death…is a blot I shall never be able to efface or forget.”

Who would have known such thing would happen to Gandhi? At least he made it all better for himself in a way that suited himself, his religion, and his wife.
