statue of Mahatma Gandhi, the famed Indian independence leader, has been removed from a university campus in Ghana's capital, Accra.

University of Ghana lecturers began a petition for its removal shortly after it was unveiled in 2016 by India's former President Pranab Mukherjee.

The petition said Gandhi was "racist" and African heroes should be put first.

Lecturers and students told the BBC that the statue, originally located at the university's recreational quadrangle, had been removed on Wednesday.

The university confirmed this, saying that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration was responsible.

Law student Nana Adoma Asare Adei told the BBC: "Having his statue means that we stand for everything he stands for and if he stands for these things [his alleged racism], I don't think we should have his statue on campus."


You had a good run nuclear Ghandi rip.

In his early writings he referred to black South Africans as "kaffirs" - a highly offensive racist slur. He also said that Indians were "infinitely superior" to black people.

Was Mahatma Gandhi a racist?

I heard about this a couple years ago.

The statue was a gift from an Indian college who donated to the school. They really didn't ask for it.

That's either Uganda or Zimbabwe. Ghana is pretty modernized.

Back when this was first announced like a year or two ago Addy was real upset about the news. He said Ghana was pandering to BLM and sjws. When pressed to explain the link between BLM and Ghana he got real upset and ghosted the topic.
