Namaste and Perrnam_/_
Gandhi’s early struggle in south Africa was predicated on the idea that Europeans should treat Indians better than they did because the Indians were better than Blacks
Just because he was racist doesn’t negate what he has done in the world, it only reaffirms the complicated ideals that occupy the human heart.
His views softened somewhat as he grew older but his campaign of non-violence was for the equal treatment of Indians, not Blacks.
Just because your disappointed (as I was) to find this out, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
here i quote Bapu gandhi
“Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”
Pls dont feel blamed and ashamed.Mahatma Gandhi is the father of our nation and sign to the free world that Indians are not black.
