  5. WoodlandRavah says:

    That’s a VERY weird thing to say for someone who appoints cabinet members who say “we kinda agree with Mao, that power comes largely from the barrel of a gun.” – Ron Bloom (Obama’s manufacturing Czar)

    Yeah, only problem for Obama is that his culture, the West, demands violence and aggression from it leaders. He could never be a Gandhi. Different class of people altogether. Gandhi was a sagely being.

  9. @fvfre246 ok so i read your comment wrong, ” He was doing? exactly against Native Africans what Britishers were doing against Indians.” Native Africans as Native Americans, still I ‘d like a further explanation of your statement

  10. @fvfre246

    He’s talking about the Indian’s living in India

    not the Native Americans. lol

    I doubt Obama knew that gandhi was a racist. most people don’t

  12. I ‘d like to know how Gandhi and king have any influence on Obama current military strategy, particularly in the middle east. He said he would get troops out but so far more have been deployed. and now we are gearing up to support Israel fight against Iran- Ghandi Really? more like Rothchild

  13. @TheMsUganda

    What was gandhi doing to native americans please explain?

  14. JacobTheIndoAmerican says:

    @CostlyChris I cant believe you brought up Mayawati. He is crushing the poor peoples hopes. She create statues of her self like like Mao did. You could have said K. R. Narayanan. Thats a good man. First Dalit to become president of India. Kind of cray, America just had the first mixed President, India in less then 60s years had Christians,Hindus,Muslims,Sikhs,Woman,Dalits,etc voted in to become presidents and PM of a nation of 80% hindu.Thats nuts!

  15. JacobTheIndoAmerican says:

    @CostlyChris You mis read the quote read again. Break it down

    “The Boer War had not brought home to me the horrors of war”

    “like the vividness that the [Zulu] ‘rebellion’ did. This was no war but a man-hunt”

  16. CostlyChris says:

    The Boer War in which Gandhi formed Indian Volunteer Ambulance Corps of 1400 men to assist the British? What is the point of that quote it doesn’t even support a mentality change, he’s recalling war memories and saying war is ugly. Zulu Rebellion was his first war scene, of course it horrible to recall. Mayawati is a member of India’s gov and she is educated on Gandhi yet agrees with what Im telling you. Why are you so closed minded the the pool of facts?

  17. JacobTheIndoAmerican says:

    @CostlyChris “improve the condition of the Dalits” what can one man do to completely improve the condition of the dalits? In couple of years..He did what he can.British left India with 7% literacy and 70%+ below poverty, you think caste system is the only problem? Not even close at least he started the Harijans movement.

  18. JacobTheIndoAmerican says:

    @CostlyChris Look another example of view points changed by gandhi.In 1927 Gandhi wrote of the event: “The Boer War had not brought home to me the horrors of war with anything like the vividness that the [Zulu] ‘rebellion’ did. This was no war but a man-hunt, not only in my opinion, but also in that of many Englishmen with whom I had occasion to talk.” About the war.He is a product of his environment, example look up more on Abraham Lincoln.

  19. @JacobTheIndoAmerican (BSP)member, Mayawati called the Father of the India a natakbaaz (fake). Mayawati said, Congress has always been insensitive to Dalits. They have done nothing for Dalits, eating in a Dalit house and sleeping there would not solve the problem. These are tactics to fool Dalits which Congress has been indulging in since long? Even Mahatma Gandhi did the same. He used to do all these dramas and did nothing substantial to improve the condition of the Dalits

  20. @JacobTheIndoAmerican Ok for the record, encouraging genocide, getting ppl involved in mass murder is acceptable because he had a sleep over night with his poor cousins later on. Your arguement that he was simply a racist product of his time is not fair to the arguement, Gandhi was violently racist where he didn’t have to be. It was a white issue that Gandhi wanted to be apart of, to gain acceptance of whites. If other minorities did such things my people would be extinct.

  21. JacobTheIndoAmerican says:

    It just proves he is very much a part of his time. Like how many hate homosexuals, transs , etc today. It? was blacks in the past. It shows the environment he grow up in. The guy is human, but if he was raised in modern western society today and then he is still racist tells more about him. People say things like “fag” “fagget” etc like its nothing to day.Its ok to make fun of gays to day.It just shows the era we live in.

  23. JacobTheIndoAmerican says:

    @CostlyChris I already said that he was a wife beating,racist in South Africa,who compare Africans to Dalits(Untouchables) back then,who hated low castes like the Dalits.But people dont give me quotes in his later part of his life to turn my view.Later he went on about Dalits being Harijans “Children of god”. Lived with them, suffered with them.Thats the thing I am trying to say,many of his view points changed from young gandhi to hermit.Bottom line is,he is a man of his era,simple as that.

  24. CostlyChris says:

    @JacobTheIndoAmerican So encouraging Indians to take part in genocide is overlooked because of a statement he made later in life? I am proud of your claims that Gandhi changed his tune to the Dalits although Dr. Velu Annamalai, a Dalit historian and member, would disagree. Gandhi was a great politician In 1930s he started the Harijan Yatra to reshape the social construct of Dalit. It wasn’t to liberate them but more to make them happier with their situation which is why Dalit leaders hate him

  25. JacobTheIndoAmerican says:

    @CostlyChris comparing Gandi in S. Africa and hermit gandi is comparing you in the age of 12 and then 21. Mind set changes..
