I have/had a guy on my friend list (I will probably delete him now) who seems to have read that WSJ Gandhi book review because this is his status.
Reading about Gandhi and what a dick! Racist, hate-monger who thought he was above others. I wish he was still alive so I could punch him in the mouth.
I was going to ignore it, but I don't think I can. When we went to Gandhi's house in Mumbai it was...I don't know, transformative. It feels really cliche saying that, but just the excerpts posted on the walls in hindi and english got me choked up, and then seeing his room with the simple bed, loom and sandals was incredible.
I had to call the dude an asshole, and be done.
