What she says: I’m fine What she means: Gandhi was a racist, misogynist, sexist who said that the rape of a woman was her own fault. He slept with naked underage girls to test his celibacy and degraded them to mere sex objects. He talked foul things about his own wife, said that menstruation was the manifestation of the distortion of a woman’s soul, and yet he’s praised by the world for ‘bringing peace’.
He also regularly beat his wife, he was extremely antiblack and a vocal supporter of apartheid in South Africa, and said during the Holocaust that Jews should commit mass suicide to shame the Germans instead of resisting. And this is just for starters.

I am glad everyone is learning what a monster he truly was.
When everyone was gushing about him, I never liked him.
My intuition has never failed me.
I’m always Anti Gandhi
Wow never knew
