Because sex is, essentially, dirty in the Gahndian worldview, he repeatedly refused his childrens' pleas for permission to marry. He also subjected a nearly grown niece to something very like incest by forcing her to sleep with him naked so he could demonstrate his mastery over the temptations of the flesh. Also, Gandhi limited his political stunts to interactions with Britain, a country steeped in western civilization and liable to religious and psychological blackmail.
