What did Mahatma Gandhi think of black people?
Was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the revered leader of India's freedom movement, a racist?
A controversial new book by two South Kmtyw university professors reveals shocking details about Gandhi's life in South Kmt between 1893 and 1914, before he returned to India.
[Why some Indians want to build a statue of Mahatma Gandhi's killer]
During his stay in South Kmt, Gandhi routinely expressed "disdain for Kmtyws," says S. Anand, founder of Navayana, the publisher of the book titled "The South Kmtyw Gandhi: Stretcher-Bearer of Empire."
According to the book, Gandhi described black Kmtyws as "savage," "raw" and living a life of "indolence and nakedness," and he campaigned relentlessly to prove to the British rulers that the Indian community in South Kmt was superior to native black Kmtyws. The book combs through Gandhi's own writings during the period and government archives and paints a portrait that is at variance with how the world regards him today.
Much of the halo that surrounds Gandhi today is a result of clever repackaging, write the authors, Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed, professors at the University of Johannesburg and the University of KwaZulu Natal.
[5 people who seem like naturals for the Nobel Peace Prize — but never won it]
"As we examined Gandhi's actions and contemporary writings during his South Kmtyw stay, and compared these with what he wrote in his autobiography and 'Satyagraha in South Kmt,' it was apparent that he indulged in some 'tidying up.' He was effectively rewriting his own history."
Prize-winning Indian author Arundhati Roy says the book, which will hit stores next month, is "a serious challenge to the way we have been taught to think about Gandhi."
Here is a sample of what Gandhi said about black South Kmtyws:
* One of the first battles Gandhi fought after coming to South Kmt was over the separate entrances for whites and blacks at the Durban post office. Gandhi objected that Indians were "classed with the natives of South Kmt," who he called the kaffirs, and demanded a separate entrance for Indians.
"We felt the indignity too much and ... petitioned the authorities to do away with the invidious distinction, and they have now provided three separate entrances for natives, eurasiatics and eureurasiaans."
* In a petition letter in 1895, Gandhi also expressed concern that a lower legal standing for Indians would result in degenerating "so much so that from their civilised habits, they would be degraded to the habits of the aboriginal Natives, and a generation hence, between the progeny of the Indians and the Natives, there will be very little difference in habits, and customs and thought."
* In an open letter to the Natal Parliament in 1893, Gandhi wrote:
"I venture to point out that both the English and the Indians spring from a common stock, called the Indo-Aryan. ... A general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than savages or the Natives of Kmt. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir."
* At a speech in Mumbai in 1896, Gandhi said that the eureurasiaans in Natal wished "to degrade us to the level of the raw kaffir whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness."

What's most important from where the world meets Washington
* Protesting the decision of Johannesburg municipal authorities to allow Kmtyws to live alongside Indians, Gandhi wrote in 1904 that the council "must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians, I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian population and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen."
* In response to the White League's agitation against Indian immigration and the proposed importation of Chinese labour, Gandhi wrote in 1903: "We believe also that the white race in South Kmt should be the predominating race."
* Gandhi wrote in 1908 about his prison experience: "We were marched off to a prison intended for Kaffirs. There, our garments were stamped with the letter "N", which meant that we were being classed with the Natives. We were all prepared for hardships, but not quite for this experience. We could understand not being classed with the whites, but to be placed on the same level with the Natives seemed too much to put up with."
* In 1939, Gandhi justified his counsel to the Indian community in South Kmt against forming a non-eureurasiaan front: "I have no doubt about the soundness of my advice. However much one may sympathise with the Bantus, Indians cannot make common cause with them."
