Re: Gandhi's racism - split from Allama Iqbal thread
so gandhis use of derogatory terms for africans and his insistsnce on maintaining a separation between the indians and africans whom he noted as being below indians is all okay.
did gandhi do some good things in his life later on and as a result got shot by a hindu fundamentalist, sure, was he the same man in his older age as he was in his younger years.
But let his own statements stand in proof of his own intolerance. The world knows Gandhi of the later years who although calculating politically may not have made racist statements as he made during his days in Africa. His statements show a different side of gandhi, which I see our indian pals have a hard time accepting.
