On 15th December, protests were held in solidarity with the farmers of Punjab in Sandy Springs, near Atlanta in Georgia outside the Indian consulate. In the crowds, Muslims, Christians and Dalits were seen holding placards with charged phrases supporting the farmers of India. Some of the placards directly attacked the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a racist and a murderer of democracy in India. The other placards directly attacked Gandhi’s legacy by branding him a racist and a rapist who conducted celibacy experiments with underage girls.
MLK Center Gandhi Statue Protested During Indian Consulate Celebration

ATLANTA, GA: May 5, 2019 — Several activists gathered to protest Mohandas Gandhi as the Indian Consulate in Atlanta, Georgia organized a 150th birth anniversary celebration of the iconic figure at his statue in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Center.
“Gandhi hated blacks,” read one sign that protestors laid at the base of the statue. Flanked by the American and Indian flags, the statue was freshly garlanded by consular officials. “No place for Gandhi in USA,” read another sign displayed by the small but determined group of protestors.
“An official from the consulate came up and threatened to put me on a travel blacklist so I cannot return to India,” says Nanak Singh, who helped organize the protest. “I told him Mayawati will be the next Prime Minister, so he should pack his bags and get ready to be shipped out. We reject intimidation by tyrants when we tell the truth about Nobel Peace Prize rejects like Gandhi.”

Other signs alleged that the statue at the King Center is a religious icon. They further claimed that it represents hatred for women. Referring to Gandhi’s infamous Brahmacharya vow, during which he conducted sexual experiments with his teenage grandnieces (including one who was under his guardianship), other signs labeled him a “child molester.”
Gandhi, who lived in South Africa from 1893 to 1914, has long faced charges of racism against black Africans. Such charges sparked controversy over a statue placed at the University of Ghana in 2016. After a sustained campaign by faculty and students, the statue was torn down in December 2018. In Malawi, after the Indian government proposed to install a statue in exchange for financial assistance, local activists succeeded in obtaining a court injunction to prevent it.
“Gandhi must fall everywhere in the world,” remarks Arvin Valmuc, a spokesperson for Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI). “There is not only no place for Gandhi in the USA, but no place for him in India, and especially not in Africa. The greatest insult, however, is to install a statue of this vehement racist — who never apologized for his promotion of racial segregation in pre-apartheid South Africa — at the Dr. King Center.”
Earlier this year, OFMI produced a video discussing the difference between the dreams of Dr. King and Gandhi. Filmed on location at the King Center, the video notes, “Gandhi’s dream was to make sure that little black boys and black girls never played together with little Indian boys and Indian girls.”

Farmers' protests
On 16, Dec 2020
As the farmer protests rage on in India, more protests are being staged in many countries outside the Indian consulate in solidarity with the farmers of India. On the heels of the protests in Washington which led to the attacks against the mythological peace icon of Gandhi statue, more protests in Atlanta have also seen similar scenes of Gandhi’s myth and RSS’s diplomatic weapon being challenged.
“India wants to be an imperial power over Malawi,” say activists
BLANTYRE, Malawi: Oct. 30, 2018 — Just three weeks after launching an online petition calling on Malawi’s second-largest city, Blantyre, to “Stop Erecting Racist Mahatma Gandhi’s Statue,” activists in the southern central African country have secured an injunction blocking installation of the planned statue.
“We will fight the construction of the statue in court,” said Pemphero Mphande after the injunction was obtained. “We don’t want this statue. Gandhi has no place in our history. Gandhi was a racist who labeled Africans as savages.”
The High Court of Blantyre has announced a hearing date of November 12. The statue was expected to be unveiled on Nov. 4 during a state visit by Indian Vice President Venkaiah Naidu. According to a press statement by India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), “There have been 26 outgoing visits to Africa at the level of President, Vice President and Prime Minister in the last four years.” The MEA added, “Africa has been accorded the top priority in India’s Foreign Policy.”
Activists in Malawi, however, interpret India’s foreign policy approach to their country as imperialistic. Speaking about the Gandhi statue, Wonderful Mkhutche says, “The issue about Gandhi is coming to Malawi right now simply because his country of origin, India, wants to be an imperial power over Malawi. India knows the desperation we have and is using that to spread its unwelcome influence in Malawi. As Malawians, we will not accept that.”
Mkhutche is one of several activists who launched the original change.org petition against the statue, which has garnered nearly 3,700 signatures. “Gandhi does not have any point of contact with Malawi, both as a country and as a nation,” he explains. “Our fight for independence started in 1915. It was the sacrifice of patriots that made it possible. We have bled for this in many different ways, and there was no time Gandhi was there for us. Gandhi was not an ally of Africans when he was in South Africa. His ideals were against the black people in South Africa. He called them Kaffirs. There is no record that Gandhi went away from those ideas. It is unfortunate to have such a man venerated in Malawi with a statue.”
“Reevaluation of Mohandas Gandhi and the negative impact he had during his 21 years in South Africa has increasingly outraged Africans throughout the continent,” remarks Pieter Friedrich, an analyst of South Asian affairs. “For decades, India has used Gandhi as a tool to impose its foreign policy goals, especially by paying for installation of his statues all around the globe. It’s called gandhiplomacy, but Africans who perceive that his actions in South Africa laid the foundations for apartheid are seeing through what they believe is actually propagandhi.”
In 2016, controversy erupted at the University of Ghana after then Indian President Pranab Mukherjee unveiled a statue of Gandhi on the campus. Faculty members launched a change.org petition demanding that “Gandhi’s Statue at the University Of Ghana Must Come Down.” They argued, “Gandhi was uncharitable in his attitude towards the black race.” Malawians used even stronger language, arguing that Gandhi made statements “showing nothing but contempt for the black African race.”
“Just like Gandhi treated Africans as inferior and worked to build a three-tiered system of segregation in South Africa a few decades before apartheid, so also India is bullying Africans into accepting inferior status in exchange for aid,” comments Arvin Valmuci, a spokesperson for Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI). “We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Malawi as they resist this insult to their dignity and affront to their sovereignty.”

In 2017, an individual named C. Hunter started an online petition addressed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) over the statue of Mohandas Gandhi installed at the Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The petition questioned the rationale of hosting the statue of “racist Gandhi” at the MLK Center when evidence proves that he was an unrepentant racist during his stay in South Africa. The petition reads in part:
“I am a concerned citizen who wants to remove the Gandhi statue at the King Center in Atlanta. Although MLK stated that he was greatly influenced by Gandhi’s words, Gandhi’s racist beliefs about those of African descent goes against what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for…Now that there have been several statues removed from public areas, we have a responsibility to remove the statue at the MLK Center in Atlanta, GA. We cannot ignore racism. We should not give it a platform by misleading people into thinking that Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. stood for the same thing.
The statues of Gandhi have for nearly a decade been attacked for being a racist, a sexual predator and the pinnacle of these attacks reached a climax during the Black Lives Movement global protests this year. On the heels of the removal of the Gandhi statue at the University of Ghana in 2018, the statues of Gandhi were vandalized in the United States of America, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Tens of petitions in various universities of the world were set up to remove the statues of Gandhi from their campuses due to his racism.

In Atlanta, at the MLK Center, images can be seen with placards placed in front of the statue, branding Gandhi a racist and rapist. A noose was tied around his neck symbolizing that the time to celebrate the statue is soon coming to an end. The symbolic noose is a reminder to the world of past lynchings in the Apartheid era and today’s sufferings of India’s minorities.
Arvin Valmuchi, a director of Organization for Minorities of India shed light on the prevalence of the attacks against the Gandhi statues:
“The legacy of Gandhi as a global pioneer of humanity is being dismantled little by little due to such protests as we have seen in Atlanta, Georgia. The fascist Indian government today uses the mythological Gandhi as a foreign policy propogandhi diplomatic weapon to whitewash its sordid history of violence. The world has woken up to Gandhi’s lies as a humanitarian. Protesters are going to continue to challenge the diplomatic weapon of the RSS BJP targeted at the already indoctrinated western mind.
(Nanak Bhatti along with other activists from minorities of India supporting the India farmers in Atlanta.)
The fascist BJP-led government of India has made Gandhi a focal point for international relations with other countries. As the farmer protests amplify, there will be more scenes against the statue of Gandhi as the historical figure has been projected to the world as the soul of India. The MLK Center which hosts the statue of Gandhi will always be a target when protests against inequality against the human race arise, because Gandhi is now known to be a symbol of hatred and inequality.

EFF is ready to rule in all South African municipalities
Julius Malema says that the EFF is ready to rule in all South African municipalities and Ghandi Square will be renamed
On 30, Sep 2021
Johannesburg, South Africa – The EFF put up its first official 2021 election billboard with a picture of party leader Julius Malema and the words “Land and Jobs Manje (Now)” written across it.
Monday, the billboard was unveiled in Kempton Park. Malema said that similar billboards would be put up in all of the country’s municipalities.
Malema told the media at the unveiling that his party was still waiting for donations of money before it could start a strong campaign.
“The fact that we are putting up this first billboard shows that we are ready for these elections. They will be all over South Africa, including in all the cities and towns. When the time is right, we will also put up posters with the faces of our candidates.” “These elections are important to us. “Our goal is to be number one in every town or city,” Malema said.
He also said that the radio and TV ads for his party would be shown. During the launch of its manifesto on Sunday at Gandhi Square, the party also said that Zahara will sing their election campaign song.
Malema didn’t want to say how much they would spend on these elections.
He said, “We don’t have money right now, but we have an ambitious plan that would cost us a couple million rand.” “We’re going to hire service providers who can give us credit for posters and billboards. We will also try to get a loan. “After the elections, we’ll pay them back,” Malema added.
He also said that they had already talked to a number of donors who said they would give money not just to the EFF but to all parties.
When asked who owned the Winnie Madikizela-Mandela House, he said that the building was bought by his party.
“We paid for it. We have rights to it. He said, “We aren’t paying rent.”
Malema also said that his party would put forward a motion to change the name of Gandhi Square.
“I don’t know what the people who named it Gandhi Square were thinking.” – Julius Malema
One of Malema’s party leaders called Mahatma Gandhi a “racist” on Sunday. This led to questions being asked of Malema. Malema said that he agreed with what Veronica Mente said.
