When this biography on the »Father of the Indian Nation«, Mahatma Gandhi, was released a big storm of protest in the Indian media broke loose. What was it all about? The biographer claimed that Gandhi has never been very much interested in women because the real love of his life was a German-Jewish architect and bodybuilder, Hermann Kallenbach, for whom Gandhi left his wife in 1908. He draws on the correspondence between the two to come to this conclusion. He is able to detail a passionate love affair between Gandhi and his lover. The knowledge of this gay affair in public was buried under an overall ideal of an ascetic asexuality. Now that the new sight on this central figure of Indian history was out several states of the Indian Union advanced in forbidding the sales of this biography on their territory.
