"Gandhi was no advocate of blind adherence to tradition".
A tradition may be an ancient tradition or a Indian tradition. But if the tradition does not take us closer to God or if it is against selfless service and love of all human beings it has to be banished. Gandhi wanted to abolish untouchability, child marriage, child widowhood and other superstitious practices. Gandhi did not accept the tradition that women should always be protected by men at all levels-childhood, youth and old age.
Gandhi was a extra ordinary lover of truth in his childhood days. He equated God with truth. He explained that one could find the definition of truth in his or her own conseience. Among his youthful experiments with truth his relationship with his wife Kasturba was remarkable. As a boy Gandhi was a dominating husband. He wanted implict obedience from Kasturba. He never allowed her to go out without his permission. Once in South Africa he made her clean the chamber pot of a low born clerk. But later he regretted for that brutal act.
