Gandhi...wife beater?
And yep...i read on...
Ghandi...before he became the Mahatma, discovered himself to be a very temperamental person. He was very strict especially in the running of his household. He did not adhere to the caste system, expecting his wife to follow likewise and as of every Hindu family back then..the man holds the authority. Gandhi's wife wasn't particularly happy with Gandhi's system, (he enforced that they had to clean their own latrines...but Gandhi's wife could not see why when they had a helper who belongs to the outcast.)
Hence, in the earlier part...before Gandhi realised his hot temper, naturally he was very authoritative towards the wife. But after an incident where he nearly chased his wife out of the house..he realised that this was one part of him he never realised and needed to change. And as for many things in his life..He changed.
