It was the most bizarre, morally repugnant aspect about the otherwise Great Man, that he misused his authority at his ashram to force young women and girls, including his own underaged grand-niece, to sleep naked together with him.

Let's say that instead of his "eccentricity" getting successfully shushed under the radar by other Indian Independence Leaders, Gandhi ends up being revealed as sleeping naked with young girls in public by accident or someone reported him early on to the British Authority (before Independence), or Indian Public (After Independence).

Is this scandal enough to discredit Gandhi's image during (the rest of) his lifetime?
