Report Abuse/InfringementThe Original Inhabitants of India were dark-skinned and closely resembled the Africans in physical features. They founded the Indus Valley Civilization which, according to historians,was one of the world's first and most glorious. Aryan tribes invaded India,destroyed the Indus Valley Civilization,and employed a cunning,deceptive religious ideology to enslave the indigenous people. Those who fled to India's forests and hills later came to be called " tribals". As these native Indians were gradually overcome,captured and enslaved they were kept outside village limits and "untouchability" was enforced upon them. These people became "untouchables". Part 1 Runoko Rashidi presents a short slide presentation detailing The African Presence in Early and Modern India. Part 2,Dr Velu Annamalai discusses the apartheid like class-caste struggle. Then he give a brief history of Sergeant Major M.K. Ghandi, being the # 1 Enemy of the Black Untouchables in India as well as the Zulu'S in South Africa during the Zulu and Boar Wars. It would seem that Ghandi was actually a agent for the British in the same way that MLK, being influenced by the philosophy of Ghandi was an agent of the U.S. Enjoy,Learn and please seed.

@redjade:
Put a comma between 'Ghandi' (sic!) and 'was' to make it more clear.
Hmm, what I remember, Gandhi lived with untouchables and tried to make the racist caste system obsolete.
Is this another example of smearing Gandhi by mixing his actions in his early years with those of his last?
He was a racist, meat-eating wife beater in his youth, but was always willing to change his mind in search of the truth. So will I, if the documentary holds ground.

Interesting even without the Gandhi comments, thanks for uploading.
@MasterOfReality:
There's some info on Wikipedia on the matter:
In 1932, through the campaigning of the Dalit leader B. R. Ambedkar, the government granted untouchables separate electorates under the new constitution. In protest, Gandhi embarked on a six-day fast in September 1932, successfully forcing the government to adopt a more equitable arrangement via negotiations mediated by the Dalit cricketer turned political leader Palwankar Baloo. This was the start of a new campaign by Gandhi to improve the lives of the untouchables, whom he named Harijans, the children of God. On 8 May 1933 Gandhi began a 21-day fast of self-purification to help the Harijan movement.[21] This new campaign was not universally embraced within the Dalit community, however, as prominent leader B. R. Ambedkar condemned Gandhi's use of the term Harijans as saying that Dalits were socially immature, and that privileged caste Indians played a paternalistic role. Ambedkar and his allies also felt Gandhi was undermining Dalit political rights. Gandhi, although born into the Vaishya caste, insisted that he was able to speak on behalf of Dalits, despite the availability of Dalit activists such as Ambedkar.

The 746.29 MB file I downloaded ends in the middle of a sentence by Annamalai. Any hope of finding a continuation somewhere?
