Gandhi Was In Love With A German Named Hermann




"If this bar is a meat market, you must be the prime rib..."

Also, he was sometimes a total dick to his niece, with whom he liked to sleep naked quite often. These are some of the relevatory historical facts coming out of this new book Great Soul by Joseph Lelyveld. After reading
the WSJ review, all I can say is, I'm glad when stuff like this comes out, even if it's awkward for some people. Men like Gandhi, or King, or the Founding Fathers achieve this deific quality, especially after death, that just doesn't reflect
the real, actual people that they were. I like Gandhi the ill-tempered, cackling bisexual who lusted after german bodybuilders. It makes him seem more human, somehow.I just wish they could've found a way to work it into the movie. I guess with a running time of almost 4 hours they had to skip over something, so they cut out all the gay sex and child molestation.
