Ongoing Projects
Reassessing Gandhi
Our longest-running project is “Reassessing Gandhi,” which has three primary goals:
1) Educate individuals, especially those in social and political leadership positions, about the damage done by Gandhi to minorities of Indian origin.
2) Work for removal of all Gandhi statues, particularly those located on public lands in the United States of America, most of which are funded by the Indian government.
3) Promote Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar as the true hero of India’s minority populations.
