I haven't taken much (actually, any) time to look into the figure of Ghandi, but if I did I would do it into some particular direction..

Ghandi was born in South Africa and though he is said to have opposed to Apartheid, he was an Indian. Under Apartheid, Indians enjoyed a status below that of White Europeans but above that of Black Africans. They even had their own sort of separated parliament and could vote it to electe their members there. That's not bad for Indians, who have in their social customs the caste system. I doubt it that SA's Apartheid was any worse for Indians than it was British rule. In fact Indians thrived in their businesses during Apartheid. As a note aside, it is curious to see that one of South Africa's current office ministers, and one who is among the most fanatical against the SA's White population, is an Indian or part Indian.

Going back to Ghandi ... oh wait, I've found on a quick search something that could prove my suspicions right:
The Myth of Mahatma Ghandi
Gandhi and African Blacks
Gandhi & Racism
Gandhi & the black Untouchables

But this comes all from just one source. Much more reading should be needed, to be sure. What about starting with this reading list?
