 Let the dead man rest in peace, you pricks. 

Bathroomcoffee bro so do you think this is a factor for development?

Dear OP,

A stupid is what stupid does. 

Thanks,

F.Gump

i don't see any reason why OP is being critisized for posting a story. Gandi did write a letter to a man that is sexual in nature. please find the transcript on the letter somewhere and read it. you won't believe what's in it. and Indian government is trying to hide those letters from public.

and that should be headlined because.....? 

Facebook I am talking about the mindset of a dimwit like yours that are A factor for Nepali Developemnt. lol !!

dolphin, "Gandhi did write a letter to a man that is sexual in nature, please find the transcript and read it ?" ha ha ha really ?
dolphin,"and Indian govt is trying to hide it ?" where ? Only a nitwit would make a statement like that without attestation. 

must be zeitgeist conspiracy theory looneys. the world will end in december brows so chill

here's the source
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/12/india-government-buys-gandhi-letters-to-stop-auction_n_1668466.html

and again this should be a headline and concerning enough to be discussed because.......??

becuse it shed some light about gandhi's lifestyle and his sexual orientation. in a place like india where homosexual are considered bad, this revelation could really help people change their mind about the homosexuality. plus facts should be hidden from public whether people can handle it or not.

facts shouldn't be hidden*

This must be the second great news for gay people after obama supported gay.The gay people of the world must be very happy and throwing  party. hahahahah 

I think this news made at least a billion people angry except gays of india.

Another Salman Rushdie is born. 

his sexual orientation should not matter or be of any concern to anybody. Besides are these letters explicit and clear about him being gay? i do agree facts should not be hidden from public but that doesn't mean this explicitly proves anything otherwise as OPs subject states. 

I have to say, I like Dolphin's angle on this one; even though I stand by what I said earlier.

yes, it matters. in place like india where a billion of people worship him and his ideology, it matters greatly.

Well whether this is a fact or a fiction that is yet to be seen.  The person who wrote them is not here to explain on what context those letters were written.  Besides his ideology and his personal life are two different things. This does not disparage what he accomplished in his life.

bathroomcoffe,did you even read the article.
'Besides his ideology and his personal life are two different things' - tell that to 50% of the people who are mostly educated in the US who vote based on personal life. what makes you think more than half a billion of uneducated people would think otherwise.

Dolphin,
If you look at the major relions of the world like Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, or Islam.  People are not talking about who Sidhartha Gautam had sex with and when, or If Jesus actually had sex with Mary Magdalene, or who did Mohammed choose to take care of his bidness while crossing the desert.  I still think ideologies and personal life are two seperate things.   

Behoove me , pankaj joshi is not our father of nation. Prithivi narayan shah and pankaj joshi are complete two personality.
I respect Gandhi for his work but when it comes to nation part i hate him as indian hero. Why simply because i hate india. When i see gandi or any indian leader i remember RAW and their plans to destroy nepal so that they can make their own state!!
I simply hate india and i guess all nepalese who are well known to their plans hate them.
On gay part; for sure i am anti-gay.
