I hate these POS's that release these "biographies" after the person is dead.  Go write for the Enquirer loser.

If this is true, everything Ghandi did means nothing!!!   :jerk:

I don't understand this sentiment.  If it's true, it's relevant.

He's dead and can't defend himself is my problem. 

Even if the allegations were true, it doesn't change what he did during his lifetime.  It's only relevant if the purpose of making the accusation is to tarnish his character.  Since he's dead, and has been for a while, I'm not sure how his character is relevant to anything today (other than the d-bag author's wallet).

My opinion of Gandhi changes 0% if sucked a bagillion cocks and and made racial generalizations.   The rough ridin' dude grew up getting beat down by the man at every turn, and elected non-violent protest as a means to go about societal change to enforce human rights.

I'll take Gandhi every day of the mother rough ridin' week and twice on sunday over Saul (that's what his mother named him) of Damascus.  I wipe my rough ridin' ass with the Corinthians.

First of all, the content of the book sheds interesting light on an important historical figure.  If he has evidence to support his claim and he's not just pulling this "Ghandi was racist" business out of his ass, then it deserves some credence.  In other words, people are interested in Ghandi and would probably be interested to know that he slept with men and was racist.  Whether or not it's "relevant to anything today" is beside the point as I've read plenty biographies about dead people that are not relevant to anything today, but still hold some historical value.

Whether or not him being bisexual "tarnishes his character" is up to the reader to decide, but I imagine many historians would be interested to view the life of Ghandi through this new racist/bisexual context.

This all depends on whether or not the author provides significant evidence to support the claims though.

Notice how in the past 50 years we've discovered everyone from Alexander the Great to Lincoln, to Gandhi, to Hitler, to Mohamed, to Buddha, to Napoleon, to Kieth Hernandez has been a flaming homosexual. I can't wait till Ron Paul dies so I can discover just how gay he was.
