Ask Osho!

Was it because he was old?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"To honor women is not to make them men, but to celebrate their unique strengths and essence."

According to Osho, no—it wasn’t Gandhi’s age. He leaned on two women even when young as a deliberate, symbolic protest against India’s tradition of viewing women as weak. Yet Osho calls it awkward and unnatural, exposing Gandhi’s poor grasp of male–female nature and, in practice, harming women by turning them into men instead of honoring their distinct strengths.
No; he did it to challenge tradition, but Osho says it felt wrong and didn’t truly help women.
Why this matters practically
- Look beyond appearances: ask whether symbolic acts actually uplift people.
- Seek equality that respects natural differences, not forced role reversals.
- Choose solutions that feel natural and empowering to all involved.
