This was a bigot who's true cause was hidden. He supported the caste system in India and despised anyone who was of African in origin. He's been quoted many times calling South Africans the N word. What a hypocrite!!!!!!!

Bruh the caste system has always been set for thousands and thousands of years In India like it protects sacred laws and it's all based on religion and keeping social order ofc he is going to go with the caste system. Lmao it's widely accepted it's there it's still there always will be nothing much one can do about a thousands years tradition/social order.

The movie does a great job summarizing the life of a man that helped create nations. In the beginning of the movie he is shown fighting racial prejudice in South Africa as a victim. After his victory there, he just goes to India. It was not real clear exactly why, but I would assume he had heard of the injustices. The movie does leave out a lot; I think, but to tell such a story as this is a grand undertaking. The absolute principle and humility of the man to me shines through the screen. I definitely know more about Gandhi now.
