When Martin Luther King Jr. visited the villa in Mumbai, India, where Mohandas Gandhi stayed in the 1920s, he had a special request: He wanted to spend the night in Gandhi's bedroom.

Now, six decades later, many black Africans are calling Gandhi a racist. #MeToo activists are questioning his sexual practices. Hindu nationalists are rejecting Gandhi's vision of a pluralistic India that is strengthened by diversity.

You dig deep enough into any of your hero’s, you find humans.
yes, he reportedly had sex and racist issues
Today is my 65th birthday. I share it with Ghandi and Tiffany. Quite a diverse group...lol
Morgan Freeman doesnt see anything wrong with sleeping naked with a granddaughter.
Partisan Media Shills update.
Defund NPR and PBS.
Ghandis socialism handicapped India for 50 years. State control of everything and their support of the oligarchs condemned millions to poverty and starvation. Without the generosity of the US they would have starved.
Penn and Teller covered this over a decade ago. Caused me to do a lot of research. I have no respect for the man.
They did it to Mother Teresa too.
Question: Who helped more people: Mother Teresa or Steve jobs?
An excerpt from the link at Jewish Virtual Library provided in the answer below:
"If I were a Jew and were born in Germany and earned my livelihood there, I would claim Germany as my home even as the tallest gentile German may, and challenge him to shoot me or cast me in the dungeon; I would refuse to be expelled or to submit to discriminating treatment. And for doing this, I should not wait for the fellow Jews to join me in civil resistance but would have confidence that in the end the rest are bound to follow my example. If one Jew or all the Jews were to accept the prescription here offered, he or they cannot be worse off than now. And suffering voluntarily undergone will bring them an inner strength and joy which no number of resolutions of sympathy passed in the world outside Germany can. Indeed, even if Britain, France and America were to declare hostilities against Germany, they can bring no inner joy, no inner strength. The calculated violence of Hitler may even result in a general massacre of the Jews by way of his first answer to the declaration of such hostilities. But if the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary suffering, even the massacre I have imagined could be turned into a day of thanksgiving and joy that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of the tyrant. For to the godfearing, death has no terror. It is a joyful sleep to be followed by a waking that would be all the more refreshing for the long sleep." (1938) The Jews by Gandhi 1k views
So he’s at least 60, and his grand daughter is...?
Gandhi, a pedophile who loved to use a special tarp he carried everywhere to roll in his own crap. Wonderful.
I understand that Anheuser Busch is dropping their sponsorship.
Anyone that spends time reading a serious biography on him will come away wondering just who the hell have people be lionizing for all of these years based on how they rip other historical figures for far less.

Just now? Remember when the movie of his life came out and he was guaranteed movie sainthood? Some writers exposed the real Gandhi in various books at that time.
i did not come to the conclusion you did from this quote.
Odd that NPR did not address the Ghandi- Hitler pen pal connection?
I guess they just ran out of space in the article?
I had a teacher who once asked: what if Ghandi faced the Chinese or Russian rulers, instead of declining British ones who had just gone through WWII?
Happy Birthday!
There were many more, I just posted that one. Gandhi did not like Jews. Period. He admired Hitler. Would you like me to post all the links or would you much rather research it on your own and draw your own conclusions from all his writings. I think that would be better than my trying to influence you.
