Gandhi, Ambedkar, and the Truth About Anti-Black Racism in India

Gandhi racism and Black people is not a controversial topic — it is a documented historical reality that Afrikan scholars have long demanded we confront. Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon, Ph.D., takes this confrontation head-on. He does not flinch. He does not apologize. Instead, he quotes Gandhi directly, precisely, and devastatingly. Furthermore, his analysis places Gandhi’s anti-Black worldview inside the broader framework of white world terror domination — a system that benefits from Afrikan ignorance and silence.
In this powerful recorded conversation, Ɔbenfo Kambon speaks with unflinching clarity about why the Gandhi statue on the University of Ghana campus must come down. He famously declared: we need Ambedkar, not Gandhi. That position is not rhetorical. It is rooted in rigorous study of Gandhi’s own writings about Afrikan people during his years in South Africa. As a result, listeners encounter a Gandhi stripped of mythology — and a Dr. B.R. Ambedkar elevated as the liberator he truly was. Most importantly, Ɔbenfo Kambon draws sharp, necessary connections between India’s caste system and anti-Blackness globally.
Why Gandhi Racism and Black People Must Be Centered in Pan-Afrikan Education
Pan-Afrikan education requires us to interrogate every false hero placed before our people. However, most institutions still celebrate Gandhi without question. Ɔbenfo Kambon refuses that arrangement. In addition, he positions this conversation inside Abibifahodie — Black liberation as a total, uncompromising project. He names white world terror domination not as metaphor but as operational reality. Therefore, understanding how Gandhi participated in anti-Black dehumanization is not a footnote. It is essential knowledge for every Afrikan scholar, student, and community builder worldwide.
This lecture belongs in every Afrikan home, classroom, and study circle. Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon delivers the kind of analysis Abibitumi was built to produce — grounded in primary sources, unapologetically Afrikan, and fiercely committed to truth. Furthermore, his work strengthens our collective capacity to reject false allies and build genuine solidarity with the oppressed. Do not let this conversation pass you by. Watch it, study it, and share it with your community.
