In Dallas and Texas, two such statue installation has been stalled, the mayors of the city are running away from hindus to save their names and seat in the city Mayor’s office.

Just this Oct 2 there were successful Protest One at the University of Michigan-Flint, during the installation of gandhi statue here and the second Protest at the San Francisco bay area to remove the already installed statue, protested by Ambedkarites/Buddhists and minorities of India.

Check for more detailed information on Upliftthem Blog under gandhi- the racist not a saint.

Now, the reason I post is to let you all gandhi folks be aware that the movement started long before Dr.Ambedkar’s death is fruition now, even India’s Sikhs are up against gandhi’s pathological life and racist practices. The hindus are not going to change their mind set but for those who really would like to understand and have a true perception of who and what gandhi means, you must read more about gandhi by his own writings and speeches, he was venomous about blacks, he was a racist. But, for Ambedkarites/Buddhists, he was the worst casteist and racist one would ever see in this world. All he did in the name of working for poor, he manipulated the system, people and the nation for his mahatma status, and the Truth is coming out now after 50 to 60 years of freedom and DrAmbedkar’s death, his work,writing and humanitarian work is helping people to understand better.

On top of which, the recent books like gandhi under cross examination and gandhi- the mask behind divinity are also shedding great lights about the pathology of gandhi.

Right now, you must get ready to count the statues going down one by one in numbers………………………………….when we reach out to remove all the statue, will connect then again.

so long friends!.. Keep up with the growing knowledge and truth it will set you free, but for gandhi, truth is going to nail him down as the number one racist in the world!

Dude, I’ve spoken to some pretty racist, fire-and-brimstone, Southern Baptist evangelicals in my day and even some of them have expressed admiration for Gandhi. I don’t see where you’re getting this.

I think we’re all acquainted with the terms people use when they’re trying to insult us so I won’t bother repeating them.

More than the South Asian Islam, maybe your time in Saudi Arabia could explain your views against statuary. Anita Ahmed at UT Austin seems OK with it.
