Because Of Human Potential, I ask: Was Mahatma Gandhi ever a Venomous Racist Anti African Hinduism advocating dude ?
Mahatma Gandhi, a key figure in the Indian independence movement and a proponent of global human rights / of nonviolent civil disobedience has been both praised for his role in promoting freedom and criticised for some of his views especially regarding Black people, Africans, those whose elites, intellectuals/ creme de la creme including their royal households he Ghandi obviously must have considered ''lower than Indians of any caste or society spectrum '' even as a migrant worker in Africa the continent of those his less than appropriate and unforgivable hate filled, non racially helpful comment and attitude were directed towards.
Did Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the revered leader of Indian’s describe black people as “savages? raw”? living a life of indolence and nakedness ?,” did this alleged global altruist saint campaign relentlessly to prove to his White supremacist seasoned racist colonialist invading, African DNA/ genetics annihilating rulers and paymasters that the Indian community in South Africa was superior to native black Africans.
There are instances in Gandhi's early life where his held prejudiced views toward certain racial groups are quite easily provable and evidenced ( though no evidence will suffice in a paradigm of intelligence insulting global cretins), especially during his time in South Africa. In his writings from that period, he used language that is considered extremely rude and ungrateful especially to his African hosts/ suspected political educators, quite vile and insensitive by today's standards, this guy audaciously, menacingly made derogatory remarks about black South Africans and expressed some serious discriminatory attitudes.
Allegedly Gandhi actively worked to combat discrimination and promote harmony among different communities .
But can people truly change '?' out of some sort of emergency altruism or benevolence from heaven or hell, something which obviously is not culturally or biologically coded especially in Mahatma Ghandi's case, can the damage be undone if any? Today it is claimed that as he became more civilised and perhaps more humane with exposure to a more intelligent community he became deeply involved in social and political activism, his philosophy transformed, and he began to advocate for the principles of nonviolence, tolerance, and equality on an international stage.
Gandhi's early writings reveal some really upsetting and annoying racist comments and attitudes even if his fans / mainstream education insist that he later developed a more inclusive and egalitarian perspective out of genuine concern for all of mankind including his African ( South Africa ) benefactors during his stimulative years, without whose help he probably would never have become who he later did globally .
When erroneously informed Martin Luther King Jr. visited the Ghandi villa in Mumbai, India in the 1920s, he wanted to spend the night in Gandhi's bedroom.
In 1903, while living as an economic refugee among the Africans perhaps at the behest of the British agency Mahatma Ghandi had the audacity to publicly write that white people ( European imperialists / apartheid enforcing venomous anti black racists ) there should be "the predominating race."
He also said black people "are troublesome, very dirty and live like animals."
"Gandhi as a young man went with the ideas of the Indian culture and his time, a position some insist is still held strongly and privately today by most culturally subscribing Indians at home and abroad based on their treatment of dark skinned people, vile xenophobia some fatal directed even today at African students who perhaps are non migrant economic investors in India . And obviously based on the continuous disregard for the lives of a certain / significant population of/ in the Indian citizenry those they call The Black Untouchable Dalits.
These people though are recognised in law as human beings, and perhaps aesthetically anti racism laws and so called efforts are enshrined in today's laws in India these, if the claims are true are laws simply created but ignored and laughed at behind closed doors in a wink wink passion by the creators in order to mislead planet earth or defraud our hearts and minds into believing the country is truly of a non stone age or backwards status
Thus a country/ society of international standards to be taken seriously, trusted fully by the so called blacks and their respective countries, privately on a world stage in the 21st century but ignored by everyone in India
He thought in Africa or over the Blacks, Europeans are the most civilised. Indians were almost as civilized, and Africans were uncivilised," his biographer Ramachandra Guha 61 told world press.
"My question is, for whatever reason can a human being outgrow racism,
something which is so alien to the natural companion seeking human nature, this Ghandi guy has somehow been imposed, foisted on global academia and mental processing as a guy who as a public figure used his life to fight anti-racism, marching, protesting , starving himself for an end to discrimination of all kinds" .In many European and African homes / also in India, Gandhi is their modern saint — the father of the nation. His birthday, is a national holiday, Gandhi's face is on India's currency, his portrait hangs in government offices.
Every major city in the country has at least one Gandhi memorial. At the garden in New Delhi where he was neutralised just months after India's independence tourists can stroll the stone walkway where Gandhi was mortally decommissioned and un-alived.
When British filmmaker Richard Attenborough began researching his 1982 Gandhi film, he asked Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, how he should portray Ghandi.
Nehru famously replied that Gandhi was "a great man, but he had his weaknesses, his moods and his failings." He begged the British artist not to turn Gandhi into a saint. He was "much too human," Nehru begged the Englishman.
