Mahatma Gandhi: A saint obsessed with temptation & bowel movement

Gandhi led what some would consider a remarkably sybaritic existence, surrounded by doting female servants and secretaries

For a man whose whole ideological thrust was anti-materialist, Gandhi was extraordinarily obsessed by what he ate and its physical consequences. A favorite book (one is impressed by the intellectual poverty of his reading) was called Constipation and Our Civilisation. During his interwar period at the Sevagram hermitage, the first question he asked his female attendants each day was: “Did you have a good bowel-movement this morning, sister?” He himself spent 20 minutes on a close-stool twice a day and took an enema every evening.
In pursuit of the perfect bowel-movement Gandhi constantly changed his diet.But some of his notions strike the reader as curious. Thus, his chief drink was a mixture of honey, lemon and bicarbonate of soda; and at meals he had a bowl of crushed garlic by his plate

Mahatma@150: Two Indians who didn’t see a 'Mahatma' in Gandhi

NEW DELHI: For one so wedded to peace, Mahatma Gandhi’s constant companion in life was the tempest. Often it blew all too ferociously, inviting for him charges of preaching from the pulpit, sidetracking the freedom movement in favour of obscure moral questions, pandering to the Hindu majority or Muslim minority, talking down to Dalits and talking up the virtues of non-violence to the point of discrediting India’s armed revolutionaries.
His protracted battles with the British and with Jinnah are well known. So is the exasperation his proteges like Nehru, Patel and Bose sometimes felt over his approach. Unfairly for both Gandhi and his opponents, though, Indian textbooks, for long after Independence, barely informed new generations about his differences and debates with two of his staunchest and most unsparing Indian critics: BR Ambedkar and VD Savarkar.

Savarkar appeared on the scene before Ambedkar, when Gandhi w
