When Nelson Mandela was awarded the Nobel prize for peace in 1994, he claimed that he owed his success to Mahatma Gandhi.
“India is the Mahatma’s country of birth; South Africa his country of adoption.”

The inspiration that the anti-apartheid leader drew from the political struggles of Gandhi has been widely acclaimed. Deeply inspired by Gandhi’s philosophy of ‘satya’ and ‘ahimsa’, Mandela often referred to the Mahatma as his ‘role model’.
gandhi can't hate black people since black people are gujarati(gandhi was a gujarati) too:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddi
his main philosophy is called 'sarvoday' aka 'Universal Uplift' or 'Progress of All'https://www.mkgandhi.org/articles/gandhi_sarvodaya.html
he cared about even untouchables(during those days some people were treated badly) but he was the guy who called them 'harijan' god's people.
he even believe on this idea called '/Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' aka "the world is one family" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasudhaiva_Kutumbakam
im pretty sure these 'angry' people are politically inspired or paid by china(to decrease india's non violence ideology in africa and promote mao's violent ideology) or maybe because some people lack education they don't do fair research and actually read about gandhi. gandhi wasn't racist. if he was racist greatest african guy called ' Nelson Mandela' would never support him.
before you guys comment how many of you have read his actual book and philosophy?
i'm an indian. i love black folks and your music.. love you all :)
thank you
