The #Gandhi statue in #WashingtonDC was apparently vandalized today by #BLM/#GeorgeFloyd protestors. Reportedly, they spray-painted "racist" on the statue's base. Could it be because Gandhi wrote that Indians are "undoubtedly infinitely superior to the Kaffirs"? #RacistGandhi
For an in-depth conversation about Gandhi's racism, read this interview by @thecaravanindia with Dr. Obadele Kambon, the professor at University of Ghana who was instrumental in the removal of a Gandhi statue from his campus.

Here’s a video I produced with @OFMIorg featuring @jadafromnola about how #Gandhi hated being identified w/blacks, worked 4 racial segregation in pre-apartheid South Africa, & wanted to preserve the purity of the races. #RacistGandhi

While @IndianEmbassyUS apparently rushed to cover it up, the words “rapist” & “racist” appear to be graffitied on the base of the #Gandhi statue in #WashingtonDC by #BlackLivesMatter  protestors.

Covering things up - including via #propagandhi - is their preferred strategy.

My latest for @project_polis: “It’s no surprise that the #RSS is responsible for such shocking violence considering its ideological ties to European fascism.”

The religious nationalist political ideology of Hindutva was first articulated by VD Savarkar, whose brother was one of the five people who co-founded the #RSS. Another co-founder was BS Moonje. He was the mentor of yet another co-founder, KB Hedgewar, who became...
... the paramilitary’s first Supreme Leader. All three — Savarkar, Moonje, and Hedgewar — were also leaders in the Hindu Mahasabha, a religious nationalist political party formed in 1915. They embraced the idea that, to quote @HartoshSinghBal, the subcontinent “had seen...

No longer is #Modi merely the “Butcher of Gujarat” — under the reign of his #RSS regime, he has become the Butcher of India.... Fascism is not rising in India — it has risen. And the threat of genocide looms large.

Full vid:
Since #Modi rose to power as the Butcher of Gujarat, it was no secret how he would govern India nor should it be any surprise that his administration is now marked by extreme violence. Nor should we be shocked that India is on the brink of genocide.
A legal method for cleansing the country of Muslims is exactly what the #BJP intended the #CAA and the #NRC to provide.

And they’ve made no secret of it.

Speaking at @UCLA about #RSS, its importance, its violence & its origins:

"Violence in which RSS is implicated includes assassinations, bombings & even pogroms against Christians, Muslims, & anyone who stands up against its xenophobic agenda."

Full vid:
@UCLA "It’s no surprise that the #RSS is responsible for such shocking violence considering its ideological ties to European fascism.... The correlation between fascism in the West and Hindu nationalism in the East traces all the way back to the paramilitary’s origins in the 1920s."
@UCLA “'Traditional muscle power of the #BJP has always been the #RSS,' said a former US ambassador to India. Its role is much broader than that, tho. Today, the RSS doesn’t just provide boots on the ground to help win elections — it pulls the strings of the party’s elected officials."
