Gandhi’s desire for Indians to be segregated from blacks was so strong that he went to Johannesburg in late August of 1904 to protest the placing of blacks in the Indian section of the city
LAHORE: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1870-1948), the man who inspired great leaders like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, may have harboured racial sentiments against black people if an article on Sulekha.com is to be believed.
The article quotes a series of letters and petitions from Gandhi, linking the black people of Africa to savages and portraying them as little better than animals. Gandhi writes, “A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir”.
According to the article, part of Gandhi’s attitude stemmed from his belief in the Aryan Invasion Theory, claiming that the superior white race from the Steppes subjugated darker races all across Eurasia. Gandhi refused to accept classification with ‘aboriginal’ looking ‘savages’: “A reference to Hunter’s ‘Indian Empire’, chapters 3 and 4, would show at a glance who are aborigines and who are not. The matter is put so plainly that there can be no mistake about the distinction between the two. It will be seen at once from the book that the Indians in South Africa belong to the Indo-Germanic stock or, more properly speaking, the Aryan stock.”
He believed that White rule in South Africa – with the help of a reduction in Asiatic immigration was necessary for civilising the blacks with these characteristics: “We, therefore, have no hesitation in agreeing with the view that in the long run assisted Asiatic immigration - into the Transvaal would be disastrous to the white settlement. People will gradually accommodate themselves to relying upon Asiatic labour, and any White immigration of the special class required in the Transvaal on a large scale will be practically impossible. It would be equally unfair to the natives of the soil. It is all very well to say that they would not work, and that, if the Asiatics were introduced, that would be a stimulus to work; but human nature is the same everywhere, and once Asiatic labour is resorted to, there would not be a sustained effort to induce the natives to work under what would otherwise be, after all, gentle compulsion. There would be then less talk about taxing the natives and so forth. Natives themselves, used as they are to a very simple mode of life, will always be able to command enough wages to meet their wants; and the result will be putting back their progress for an indefinite length of time. We have used the words ‘gentle compulsion’ in the best sense of the term; we mean compulsion of the same kind that a parent exercises over children.”
Gandhi thus remained a firm believer in white settlement and rule in South Africa. More explicitly, he wrote that the White race deserved to be the dominant race in South Africa: “What the British Indians pray for is very little. They ask for no political power. They admit the British race should be the dominant race in South Africa. All they ask for is freedom for those that are now settled and those that may be allowed to come in future to trade, to move about, and to hold landed property without any hindrance save the ordinary legal requirements.”
Along with the dominance of the white race in South Africa, Gandhi also held dear the idea of racial purity: “We believe as much in the purity of race as we think they do, only we believe that they would best serve these interests, which are as dear to us as to them, by advocating the purity of all races, and not one alone. We believe also that the white race of South Africa should be the predominating race.”
Commenting on a petition opposing interactions between the whites and the coloureds, Gandhi wrote: “The petition dwells upon ‘the co-mingling of the coloured and white races’. May we inform the members of the conference that, so far as the British Indians are concerned, such a thing is practically unknown? If there is one thing, which the Indian cherishes, more than any other, it is the purity of type. Why bring such a question into the controversy at all?”
Gandhi’s desire for the Indians to be segregated from the blacks was so strong that he went to Johannesburg in late August of 1904 to protest the placing of blacks in the Indian section of the city: “Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian Location should be chosen for dumping down all the Kaffirs of the town passes my comprehension. ...Of course, under my suggestion, The Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of Kaffirs with the Indians, I must confess I feel most strongly.”
It is unclear from the article whether Gandhi later changed his position. However, it does shed some light on the ideas that shaped the mind of one of the most successful political leaders of the 20th century. *

well fuck gandhi then, thought the nigga was great till i come read this...this ofcourse is if its true...
Thats what all indian and asian people think about black people, I have had racism against me from asian people, but I dont sweat because I have fucked a few asian girls

Gandhi used to be in my list of hereos such as Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela etc, after realising this clown was a racist, I feel betrayed
Fuck Gandhi
It's pretty harsh if the article's true.
If he changed positions later that's a little better I guess.
The aryans (white supremist) had a big influence on the population in India
but still this is gandhi dude, its like tellin me mother teresa was doin private shows in the taj mahal...someshit just doesnt add up
all of our heroes sat down and took a shit some time in their lives

what sucks about allegations coming out after you die is you can never defend yourself and your image is always tarnished.
SMH@ghandi he look like some kind of skinny ass demon

how bout that lama character..he do anything fucked up
everybody has done something fucked up in life yo
ALL OF THEM
but so what - alot of them done better than what we doing - they are remembered for ways they have changed human existance
even jesus had to take a piss everynow and then - drinking wine does that to you you know - he even married a prostitute - yes mary magdalene was his wife - a reformed prostitute - martin luther king cheated on his wife - malcolm had to turn tricks when his hoes ran out on him (look it up)
we expect too much from other human beings

i dont think ya guys should believe everything you here man.
wouldnt mandela kno about this or martin luther king, if he was a racist or not.
mandela and martin luther king were influenced by ghandi.
Think about it
^^^ I dont think Mandela was even born when Gandhi went to South africa and again I have never heard Mandela shouting out Gandhi or showing any respect to Gandhi
Martin Luther king didnt give a fuck about Black people suffering in Africa, all he cared about was black people in America
