Yes, university students in Ghana pulled down a statue of Gandhi. I was taken aback by that but then looked closer at why the students acted that way. It was because they perceived Gandhi to have been prejudiced against Black people. And, believe it or not, he was. His fight against injustice in South Africa was Indian centered. Look at the history of that period and situate Gandhi, a young British trained barrister, trying to assert his place in the social hierarchy. He quickly realized that being Indian meant he couldn't travel first class but his subsequent agitation was not for all people of colour but just his group. The more mature freedom fighter he became in India would certainly not have fallen into that trap.
