It’s okay, I also prefer statements like that to have some sort of source.
Gandhi went out of his way to segregate Indians from Africans, despite their struggles being similar in the sense that both races were oppressed and denied rights on the basis of their skin color. Gandhi had a very clear stance about who he believed to be the “superior races” — they were that of the Aryan brotherhood and the civilized Indians.
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 Africa." He fully believed that native South Africans were ‘barely human’
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 Africa should be the predominating race.”

In his time in South Africa, two of his female followers were harassed by a young man, leading him to forcibly chop off their hair so they didn’t warrant any unwanted sexual attention. He wrote about the incident later, emphasizing the message to all Indian women that they were responsible for their own sexual assaults. Gandhi felt women surrendered their humanity the minute men raped them.
In order to test his celibacy, he slept naked with young women without touching them to test his sexual patience
He criticized the Jews for defending themselves against the Holocaust — he insisted that they should have committed public mass suicide in order to “shame” the Germans instead of fighting back.
He also refused his wife medication that would have saved her life [for religious reasons], but when he himself was in a similar position decided that it was okay to make an exception.
Here’s a quote by him. “The difference between a prostitute and a woman using contraceptives is only this- the former sells her body to many men and the latter sells it one man.” - Gandhi
Of course he is known for all the good things he has done, however people should realize he was no saint.
Bill Gates and his monopolistic business tactics in making Microsoft the largest software company in the 80s, 90s and early 2000. Also, him being the richest man in the world for 17 out of the last 22 years.
