Ghanaian professors have launched a campaign for the removal of a statue of Mahatma Gandhi from their campus because they claim he was racist and considered Indians to be “infinitely superior” to Africans. The statue was unveiled at the University of Ghana in June by the Indian president, Pranab Mukherjee. But, this Indian lawyer argues, Gandhi’s thought had a huge influence in Africa during the struggle for liberation.

A few months ago, entrepreneur Charles Devenish contacted me to tell me about his plans to develop various mining enterprises across India. He spoke about the massive amounts of untapped mineral resources lying beneath India that is just lying there and has been for a long time. What he thought I might find appealing were his plans for how small-scale mining could dovetail with a model of agriculture aimed at restoring Indian soils, which have been seriously degraded by decades of ‘green revolution’ chemical poisoning, and a rolling back of the increasing and harmful corporate control of farming.

Praful Bidwai Interviews Perry Anderson His latest book, The Indian Ideology, just published by the Three Essays Collective, is a scathing critique of the dominant celebratory discourse of the Idea of India, or the lionising of the democratic stability, multi-cultural unity and impartial secularity of the Indian state as a miracle. His three recent essays on the subject in the London Review of Books have already generated considerable debate.

"In this respect [caste], Ambedkar and Gandhi were on the same footing--if anything Ambedkar’s argumentation as seen in The Annihilation of Caste is far more sophisticated. However, the crucial difference between them was their treatment of the idea of equality. Both figures held that human beings were essentially unequal. Ambedkar, however, insisted that this ontological inequity was not a sufficient justification for the construction of an unequal social system. Gandhi, on the other hand, felt that this ontological inequality warranted social divisions for the sake of social stability. Thus, Gandhi sought to protect caste and Ambedkar set out to annihilate it."
SA Aiyar "Swaminomics" The Times of India , 09 February 2014 "Gandhi wanted the central government to have very limited powers. He wanted villages to rule themselves the traditional way, through sarpanches and panchas (village chiefs and councillors). But Ambedkar declared that villages were cesspools of cruelty, caste prejudice and communalism. No human rights would be safe if left to dominant groups that had oppressed minorities for centuries in the most inhuman fashion. "
