No one can deny the role Gandhiji has played in our struggle for freedom. There is a reason why he is deemed as the ‘Father of the Nation’. But there are certain allegations, really scandalous ones at that, that is make your head spin in shock. It is said a lot was swept under the carpet to shield the Mahatma from public backlash, but some authors have penned books revealing some dirty secrets about the supposed ‘pious’ life of Gandhiji.

1. Gandhi was having sex with his wife, when his father lay breathing his last upstairs. As a result, he decided to abstain himself from sex.

2. Gandhi used to beat his wife up routinely. He had also denied sex to her for decades.
