People can be a little broader minded. The racial quotes which Gandhi was made (referring to the collected works of Mahatma Gandhi – only if right) during his early years of work in ‘colonial’ Africa that too he wasn’t grown into a complete man of ‘Non-violence, anti-apartheid and anti-British’. Gandhi he himself did not denied the initial colonial influence on his thoughts. After some extent I found all this spread of his quotes are above criticism also matches to any sort of propaganda.
“A gradual evolve of a person with his thoughts, ideas and perceptive towards the world should be considered, while creating an image or even project to a figure based on identity – as we all know while referring to the history ‘nobody was born into savior or dictator’ OR even ‘doctor or saint’. I certainly not ready to accept that Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King were completely wrong while judging Gandhi and inherit his way of protest into freedom fight and racial struggle. Nelson Mandela once said “Gandhi was reacting not to African ‘Natives’ in general, but to ‘criminalised Natives’ ” He added this as well Gandhi should be judged “in the context of the time and circumstance.” http://atlantablackstar.com/2015/03/31/not-all-peaceful-13-racist-quotes-gandhi-said-about-black-people/
