Playing the Husband
- Discussing his marriage, Gandhi says the passion for truth is innate in him and put being faithless to his wife out of the question.
- But faithfulness has a dark side because, as a young husband, he wants to force Kasturbai, his wife, to also be faithful.
- She is, but that doesn't stop him from being jealous all the time and trying to control her.
- During the first five years of their marriage—from age 13 to 18—the two aren't allowed to stay together much.
- When they are together, Gandhi's lust distracts him from more productive things, such as teaching her to read and write.
- As an adult, he blames her lack of education on his lust.
