See the recent edition of Outlook which carries a cover story of Gandhi's relationship with Saraladevi, niece of Tagore. This is perhaps one of the last (& best ?) kept secrets in the Gandhi closet which his great grandson Rajmohan seeks to unveil in his forthcoming book - Mohandas. The 'affair' (not sure whether the relationship was physical but for lack of another word) lasted for few years & ended around 1920 after CR wrote a 'stinker' to Gandhi asking him to end the relationship. Though this is a matter of personal choice & doesn't deserve to be criticised, this only underlines the fact that he was a mortal too & hence could be criticised for the right reasons.
