Shocker: Gandhi elder son raped his daughter!!
By: Tupaki Desk | 15 May 2014 8:58 AM ISTSome stunning facts were revealed through the letters written by father of nation Mahatma Ghandhi.An auction house that has earlier auctioned Mahatma Gandhi's blood and his will, has now put up on sale three explosive letters
The letter comprises the details of Gandhis deep concerns over the behavior of his eldest son Harilal.The three handwritten letters show that Gandhi told his drunken eldest son he would rather the young man died than resort to alcohol.And he even accuses Harilal of raping his own daughter Manu when she was eight.
You should know that your problem has become much more difficult for me even then our national freedom," says Gandhi in one of the letters
"Manu is telling me number of dangerous things about you. She says that you had raped her before eight years and she was so much hurt that medical treatment was also to be taken," the letter reads, in reference to Harilal's daughter Manu who had come to stay with her grandfather at Sabarmati Ashram.
"Please let me have pure truth please tell me if still you are interested in alcohol and debauchery. I wish that you better die rather than resort to alcohol in any manner," adds another autographed letter.
The turbulent relationship between Gandhi and his elder son was the subject of the film Gandhi, My Father in 2007, but the notes, dating from 1935 highlight how bad it was.The series of letters is part of Mullock's Historical Documents Sale on May 22.
