Let’s Talk Boldly about Gandhi Celibacy Test
In a bold Instagram reel, creator Muskan Madaan (@muskan.madaan_) questions a historical truth many ignore:
“Can a man sleep next to a naked woman to test his self-control — and still be called holy?”
The reel dives into the Gandhi Celibacy Test — a controversial practice by Mahatma Gandhi, once seen as spiritual, now seen by many as misogynistic.
Gandhi Celibacy Test: What Really Happened?
Here are verified facts:
- Gandhi slept naked with young women, including his teenage grandniece.
- He believed this would test his brahmacharya (celibacy vow).
- These experiments continued into his 70s and caused discomfort even among his closest aides.

Feminist Insight: Why It’s a Red Flag
This reel shines light on the duality of Gandhian philosophy:
- Ahimsa (non-violence) for the world,
- Misogyny for women used as spiritual “tools”.
This practice was not just unethical — it shows how patriarchy used faith to control women’s bodies.
📌 Why the Gandhi Celibacy Test Still Matters
✅ We must rethink our heroes without fear.
✅ Women’s agency should not be sacrificed for spiritual experiments.
✅ Social media now allows truth to travel faster than ever.
🎯 Even today, spiritual hypocrisy exists, and it’s time we stop glorifying it.
