Here’s an article about the diary of Manu Gandhi (his grandniece) detailing her relationship with him. It confirms that he did in fact sleep in the same bed with her for many years, starting when she was a teenager. It was justified as an exercise in chastity. It must also be mentioned that during this time, Mohandas was raising her too since she was away from her family. Also, this diary was revised by him directly and often.
Here’s another article compiling secondary sources that describes what happened more succinctly. In the ashrams that Mohandas set up, kids and adults lived together, including bathing and sleeping (naked) with each other. This was how Mohandas wanted it to be because of religious stuff he made up about how people need to build an endurance against sexual temptation. He slept with many other women (who were not allowed to stay with their husbands) and little girls in addition to his niece. His secretary R. P. Parasuram quit because of this and wrote in his resignation letter that he would often hear crying from the women who slept with him.
When Gandhi slept with the girls, he passed it off as literally only laying beside each other nude. But it’s obvious that he did more than that with them every night.
Now that I’ve looked into it, I have to say that I was way, waaaaay too soft on this freak in my comment. I am confident saying that he was a pedophile and serial rapist. If he were around today, he would have been a regular at Epstein’s island.
Didn’t he regularly sleep with little girls as a “test of will” or something?
