India state bans book hinting Gandhi had gay lover

None

A state in western India banned Pulitzer-Prize winning author Joseph Lelyveld's new book about Mahatma Gandhi on Wednesday after reviews saying it hints that the father of India's independence had a homosexual relationship.

 

More bans have been proposed in India, where homosexuality was illegal until 2009 and still carries social stigma. (AP)
