Gandhi’s letters to son may trigger storm
Written in 1935, they ‘reveal’ his eldest son Harilal as alcoholic and a child molester

Disclosures that threaten to blacken the reputation of members of Mahatma Gandhi's immediate family are due to be made public later this month in the UK.

These are contained in three letters written by Gandhiji to his oldest son, Harilal, who died of liver failure in 1948, and who is revealed as a debauched alcoholic, child molester and possible rapist of his own daughter, Manu.

Harilal was one of Gandhiji's four sons. The others were Manilal — who stayed behind in South Africa — Ramdas and Devdas.

One letter from Gandhiji also refers to Harilal's 'illicit' relations with his dead wife's sister, Bali. "According to Anandlal, Bali was suffering from syphilis, then how can you escape it?" Gandhiji writes to his son.

All these never-before-seen letters hand written in Gujarati in Gandhiji's own hand and sent from Vardha near Nagpur in June 1935 have been authenticated by a leading Gandhian scholar, Professor Tridip Suhrud, current director of the Sabarmati Ashram Preservation Memorial Trust.

Professor Suhrud, who describes the content of the letters as "disturbing", is a recipient of a Sahitya Akademi Award for his translation of "Harilal Gandhi: A Life."

The most controversial content of one letter sent on June 19, 1935, starts: "Chi (long live) Harilal" before going on to talk about the arrival in Vardha of Harilal's 16-year-old daughter (and Gandhiji's grand daughter) Manu.

In a translation from Gujarati provided to The Tribune Gandhiji writes, "Manu is telling me a number of dangerous things about you. She says that you had raped her before eight years and she was so much hurt that medical treatment was also to be taken. She permits anyone to ask about this incident. I am getting more and more pained by this."

At the end of this same letter Gandhiji goes on to say, "I would wish that you better die than resort to alcohol in any manner. May God save you from lack of peace. Bapu's blessing, Vardha, 19-6-1935."

In a separate, second letter, Gandhiji again addresses the issue of his son's alcoholism, saying, "Please let me have pure truth, please tell me if you are still interested in alcohol and debauchery."

Harilal's troubled life and tense relationship with his father have been well documented. He was born in 1888 and hoped to go to England to qualify as a barrister, but this was opposed by his father.

Suhrud accepts the possibility that Harilal physically assaulted Manu, and there is a reference to that in Harilal's biography, but whether Manu was actually raped by her father is open to interpretation because of Gandhiji's use of the word 'balatkar'.

"The word 'balatkar' means rape, but in Gujarati it also means 'use for force' ", explains Suhrud. "So I'm not trying to defend, I'm just saying there is the possibility of a different kind of usage."

Asked to comment on the contents of Gandhiji's letters, Suhrud told The Tribune: "They were written at the most disturbed time in Harilal's life. He had gone through conversion to Islam, a re-conversion to Hinduism and he had been working as a Vedic missionary for the Arya Samaj. So in his own personal life this is perhaps the most traumatic period. Also a time when his son Kanti is growing up and aspiring to become a doctor, but doesn't become a doctor."

Mohandas gandhi was a pedophile and a racist himself. Why are people surprised that his kid did this sort of sh**t?

Gandhi slept naked with young girls and his own young grandnieces to see if he could control his sexual desires- this is written for all to read in his autobiography.

He wrote letters to his gay jewish lover in london (these letters were recently sold in auction- india bought them). He was a man in great power who could've easily condemned the caste system and got the new india rid of this disease. Instead he said that the whole world one day would adopt the hindu caste system as without we can not possibly function.

He was openly against muslims refering to them as untouchables, along with Dalits and Black Africans referring to them as "harijans", a term he coined as a sweet, pretty face to his racist theory. He supported Hitler and his acts against the jewish community to create the perfect race. He wrote, black people were "only 1 degree removed from animals". "Kaffir are as a rule uncivilized the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty and live almost like animals." Note kaffir is an offensive ethnic slur used in south africa to refer to the native black people.

He was openly against SIKHS! He claimed sikhi was a branch of hinduism. He claimed that Dasam Pita was an ill-informed individual who took up arms for the wrong reasons. He claimed Guru Teg Bahadur ji Maharaaj gave his Sees for personal reasons.

He was totally against the acts of Bhagat Singh et al. the acts of which he openly condemned standing shoulder to shoulder with bandar pandit Nehru. And then when Bhagat Singh et al got public attention, congress and gandhi took a complete turn on their prior statements and accepted, applauded the acts of Bhagat Singh et al.

This man, who people today refer to as "Mahatma", was a Neech-atma, a low soul. A figure who had public support, who the congress party used for their own political gains. All this bullsh*t about nonviolence yet india is probably the biggest perpetrator of violence in the world.

Was it not his own people who killed him in the end? Hmm i wonder why.

No buyer for Gandhi’s letters
Shyam Bhatia in London

The controversial letters written by Mahatma Gandhi to his oldest son Harilal failed to find a single buyer at a British auction of historical memorabilia.

Before the auction, the letters were expected to fetch at least £60,000 (approximately 60 lakh), but no buyer stepped forward when the bidding started.

A marble bust of Maharaja Ranjit Singh was, however, sold for £12,000 and a dagger from the post-Ranjit Singh royal court in Lahore fetched £10,000. A book by Russian traveler Prince Soltikoff, who visited Punjab in 1840, fetched £3,500.

A spokesman for the auctioneers, Mullock’s, said the absence of interest was “amazing”. He said, “None of them sold, there was no real bidding on any of the Gandhi material. I was surprised coming to the sale that we didn’t have any serious inquiries.”

Not suprised at all.

All the elites from the white british and other western establishments to the indian muslim hindu rulers, they were all Freemasons who indulged in homosexuality, bestiality and paedophilia and other sexual divergences while claiming to be pillars of society and role models that people should look up to.

Recently the indian congress govt brought up with great expense the authentic love letters between m.k gandhi and his gay German European wrestler lover...
