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.
