What is the significance of Gandhi's later years?
Thank you.
Welcome back to the final part of our epic series on Mahatma Gandhi. Joining me is Horatio Gould. Hello there. Gandhi is in his creepy uncle phase. Yeah, Randy Gandhi's come back. Mahatma Gandhi is here. To recap, Gandhi's a professional prick. He's wearing a loincloth to protest the British Empire, having been a very, very active proponent of it. He's turned to the dark side. He's now Darth Vader. The brave British Empire of Ewoks is trying to get the death star of Indian nationalism. But it's unavoidable. It's a violent coup. He has gone on a peaceful, he's gone on a long walk, Rory Stewart-esque walk. He's trying to bore the British Empire to death. Yes, a long tradition of people boring us to death. He's gone to make some salt.
Churchill rightly has called him a Hindu Mussolini. Once again, Churchill's rhetoric is exactly on point.
How does Gandhi's approach to non-violence evolve during the war?
He sees things that other people don't. Let history decide who's right, and history decide that you're completely wrong.
Churchill has been proved correct, completely. If anything, I'd say Mussolini is an Italian Gandhi.
LAUGHTER
Masalarini. Masalarini. Thank you, Charlie. Straight off the bat. Lovely stuff. That's lovely. I'm feeling good about you today. I think, yeah, Masalarini. Mussolini is a Hindu Gandhi. Now, Gandhi in this part of his life is, it's probably the part of his life that I knew the least about, I'm the most excited to deal with. Because he's known to history as an old man.
Yes.
Really?
Like Charles Darwin, you know him in his oldest form.
Yes. He's a little bird-like figure, bald, similar glasses to you.
Yeah, he could be serving coffee in a sort of like autism awareness cafe, non-binary place. Yes, exactly. He's got that sort of look. Someone who's struggling with gender.
Yes, and he is Australian. We dealt with that. He should be wearing a lanyard with an overwhelming amount of badges on it. We get it, you're disabled. Now, speaking of his disability, he, at this point in the 1940s, when he's in his 70s, he has walking sticks.
What were Gandhi's views on sexuality and abstinence?
Yes. That's a normal thing for an old man. A normal thing for an old man to have. Although Gandhi does not use sticks. No. He uses two women. His walking chicks, if you will. These two young female attendants who he leans on their shoulders during his morning and evening walks. So it's almost Gaddafi-esque.
Yes. There's definitely the air of the Gaddafi here. The air of the Gaddafi. He's just hiding it. He's a less honest Gaddafi.
Yes, exactly.
He's... wrapping it all up in this holier-than-thou bullshit.
Exactly.
You've still got an Amazonian guard. Yeah. But you're actually... Gaddafi never lent on them.
No. He might have honked them occasionally. He wasn't a creep. He was using their tits to deflect bullets that were coming at him.
It was a national security issue. Yeah.
He's like, yes, I'm funding the IRA. Yes, I'm doing Lockerbie. Fuck off.
How does Gandhi's relationship with women reflect his beliefs?
I'm not telling you not to eat meat.
Yeah.
You know? I'm a good time guy.
I'll do my stuff, you do yours.
Yeah, everyone does their own thing.
Do you ever said, you guys remember your walking sticks, not talking sticks? A bit less of this, a bit more of that, yeah?
So he's leaning on it.
Can we get any photos of him leaning on... I think all the photos of him leaning on them, he's the biggest smile in the world. He can't believe his luck. How have I got away with this?
I'm holy, but remember... Look at this. Yeah, so he's just leaning on a couple of young women. Oh, that one's very young. Smiling. It's creepy. It is creepy. But again, he's the father of the Indian nation, okay? Women are there to show him their bobs or to support him on his walks. They accompany him to his prayer meetings. They assist him with his meals.
They assist him with his enemas. His enemas, yeah. So sometimes when it's three-hour sessions on the toilet... He does test cricket sessions on the toilet, which obviously India is a big cricket nation.
Do you use your walking sticks to help you on the toilet?
Well, I think BB... Crutch there, crutch there. I think he uses them as a sort of poo step. An early poo step. A proto-poo step.
