Gandhi event axed over gay claim
A US educational organisation has cancelled an event planned for a Mahatma Gandhi biography that was banned in part of India after reviews hinted the father of the nation’s independence had a homosexual relationship.
The event, in honour of Pulitzer Prize-winner Joseph Lelyveld’s book 'Great Soul', was to have been hosted on April 13 in Santa Clara, California, by the Foundation for Excellence, a non-profit group which provides scholarships for students in India.
