A review of Jad Adams’ biography of Gandhi, with quotes

Jad Adams’ biography of one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century is impossible to put down. It’s a fresh look at the man through his own writings and the testimony of those closest to him, though some consider it one-sided and negative.

One aspect of the book, unsurprisingly, dominated the reviews: Adams tells how Gandhi had two young women regularly sleep naked with him in his bed, and who also gave him massages and baths. The claim is that their presence was necessary in order to test the purity of his commitment to Brahmacharya (celibacy), and to preserve his ‘life force’ for the benefit of others.

This was known during Gandhi’s lifetime, and, although it led to internal strife within the Gandhi camp, he claimed he wasn’t trying to conceal it, and was eager to emphasise the importance of celibacy.

This is the V&A’s fourth special project with La Biennale di Venezia for the Pavilion of Applied Arts at the Venice Architecture Biennale. In response to Scottish-Ghanaian architect Lesley Lokko’s theme, ‘The Laboratory of the Future’, which she intends specifically to refer to Africa, the V&A have exhibited Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Power in West Africa.

The pavilion explores Tropical Modernism, the architectural style that adapted an international modernist aesthetic to the hot, humid conditions of the region. Though a colonial imposition in British West Africa, with buildings paid for out of the Colonial Office’s £200m (£6 billion today) post-war fund to modernise the colonies and strengthen ties to the Metropolis, the style survived the transition to Independence, when it became a key aspect of nation-building and symbol of the progressiveness and internationalism of these new countries.

The pavilion is the result of a five-year research partnership with the Architectural Association (AA), which started an influential Department of Tropical Architecture in 1954, and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, Ghana, where the AA started an outpost a decade later. This research will inform an exhibition at the V&
