Bobby, a gaybombay. It is almost midnight, and I find myself in the sort of extravagant and grandiose party Indians specialize in. There are huge cakes with whipped cream, served at will, and everyone seems to flirt and kiss each other. The proportion of gays seems significant, but the place is mixed, open, always discreet, and codes are respected, for good measure. She is the flamboyant head of the fashion pages of Vogue India.
Who sleeps with whom? Who is the villain? Who will be deified? Who will become a nabob? Between two hugs and a few good laughs, Bobby asks me what I think of the party. In short, we did what we wanted. In India, as often in Asia, the issue is not just about the law: a whole culture helps make homosexuality taboo. And yet things evolve. In June , Gay Pride gathered a few thousand people in the Indian capital, an event that is well covered by the national press.

According to Lelyveld, during the 21 years Gandhi lived in South Africa, he was in love with Hermann Kallenbach, a German Jewish architect and sexy bodybuilder to boot. To make his case, the journalist quoted only short excerpts from a series of unpublished letters.
To verify these facts, I went to the sources at the Gandhi and Kallenbach house in South Africa, where I was able to read their entire correspondence — hundreds of handwritten and typed pages. The Satyagraha House is now a guesthouse at 15 Pines Street in a northern neighborhood of Johannesburg. If you like vegetarian cuisine, you can book a spartan room. Having arrived there as a young Indian lawyer dressed in Western clothes, a more mature Gandhi would leave South Africa wearing a simple white dhoti : in the meantime he threw himself into the struggle for Indians exiled in Africa, refined his concept of social justice and anticolonialism, and established his principles of nonviolence.
He met Kallenbach in They very quickly forged an uncommon intellectual and emotional relationship.
