Kumar Girija

Mahatma Gandhi's Letters on Brahmacharya Sexuality and Love Kumar Girija

Rajmohan Gandhi's book on Mahatma Gandhi has created a controversy mainly because one of the chapters is devoted to Gandhiji's relations with Saraladevi Choudharani whom he called his spiritual wife. Girja Kumar gives a more vivid characterisation of this relationship in his book which was released last year. This book, in fact, gives an authentic account of the Mahatma's relations with various other women associates and the repercussions these romantic liaisons produced on those close to him, including 'Ba' (Kasturba Gandhi). The book is ready to go into reprint and the paperback edition will shortly hit the stands. A Hindi edition is also coming up.
