Who cares? Personally I think its more hilarious/ironic that MLK Jr. and Mandela idolized the man, considering all the unsavory things he had to say about black people during his African years.
Janab you can delude yourself about what Gandhi stands for ..... it doesn't matter .... he is idiolized by a number of black people .... even Obama is one of them. Frankly your opinion on Gandhi does not matter, he is what he is.
