And Prashad while you are on your Indo South African apology tour discuss the fact that Gandhi and other Indian leaders gave carte blanche to the white colonial leadership to deprive "kaffirs" of any rights. They only became enraged when the whites treated Indians as only slightly better than "kaffirs".
Indians weren't innocents in South Africa. They allowed themselves to be used by whites who sought to subjugate the indigenous black population. Why then the surprise that this population saw them as invaders as they also saw the whites? Willing participants in a tool of oppression, which ironically also began to oppress Indians once it was fully put in place.
