Re: Gandhi branded racist in Johannesburg

Gandhi was a religious extremist,racist slave of racist imperialist.
Gandhi does not deserve title of mahatma (means great soul).
Gandhi & congress played minimal role i indian war of independence.
RIN mutiny,INA,various peasant struggle (farmers,advasis & dalits rebellion) & many sons of india who sacrificed their lives to wake up the masses are reason for independence not some media made mahatma.

Gandhi continued his racist legacy in india not missing any opportunity to oppress dalits (lower caste hindu) .

Babasaheb 's (Man who wrote constitution of India) Criticism

Referring to Gandhi's fast against the Macdonald Award of 1931
granting a separate electorate to the untouchables;Dr.Ambedkar remarked:

"There was nothing noble in the fast. It was a foul and filthy act. The fast was not for the benefit of the Untouchables. It was against them and was the worst form of coercion against a helpless people to give up the constitutional safeguards of which they had become possessed under the Prime Minister's Award and agree to live on the mercy of the Hindus. It was a vile and wicked act. How can the Untouchables regard such a man as honest and sincere?"

After having gone on a fast unto death, he signed the Poona Pact.
People say that Mr Gandhi sincerely believed that political safe-
guards were harmful to the Untouchables. But how could an honest
and sincere man, who opposed the political demands of the Un-
touchables, who was prepared to use the Muslims to defeat them
and who went on a fast unto death, in the end accept the very same
demands-for there is no difference between the Poona Pact and
the Communal Award-when he found that there was no use
opposing, as opposition would not succeed?

"How can an honest and sincere man accept as harmless the demands of the Untouchables which once he regarded as harmful?"
