Gandhi and the Jew - ketchim - 07-03-2012
"He is more than an acolyte, less than an equal" :
Hermann Kallenbach, a Jewish architect of Lithuanian background,
who struck a deep friendship with Mahatma Gandhi :
during his time in South Africa !!!

Pulitzer-winning author Joseph Lelyveld :
Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India
Mr Lelyveld describes the relationship between the men as
"the most intimate, also ambiguous" one of Gandhi's lifetime.
This was provocation enough for the government in the leader's native state
of Gujarat to ban the book last year ::redcard::

But it was certainly a curious friendship.... :lipsrsealed:
Re: Gandhi - ketchim - 07-03-2012
Though locals gossiped that Gandhi had left his wife to live with a man,
a Gandhian scholar told Mr Lelyveld that their relationship was "homoerotic"
rather than homosexual.... :wink:
Re: Gandhi - ketchim - 07-03-2012
Kallenbach, in fact, wrote to his brother in Germany in 1908 -
shortly after moving in with Gandhi -
that, following his friend's abstemious ways :
he had stopped eating fish and having sex.....

More evidence of this fascinating relationship may soon be finally heading home :
to India's archives.
