A website dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi had claimed that in a book titled The Mind of Mahatma Gandhi, he was quoted as saying, “I have always held that it is physically impossible to violate a woman against her will. The outrage takes place only when she gives way to fear or does not realize her moral strength. If she cannot meet the assailant’s physical might, her purity will give her the strength to die before he succeeds in violating her.”285)
