Certainly Sonia is not the correct person to speak on the subject when there are world leaders who followed Mahatma Gandhi's ideals and achieved freedom for many .
Nelson Mandela who is still amidst of us would have been best choice.
None of us are competent to judge others when we ourselves are not clear.

Nah! Nelson Mandel and MArtin Luther king are Blacks. Afrikaans.
Gandhi ji despised blacks and Negros, says his Autobigraphy.
A prominent Telugu Daily Andhra Bhoomi, is printing a translation of Gandhiji's views on Afrikaners. Gandhi ji in South Africa, while being subjugated to English Racist behavior,
himself treated the native Africans with despise and hatred.
He wrote letters to Jailers to keep himself away from these dirty Afrikaners and wanted to align himself with English.
I dont know the truth. But the man who experimented with truth has also experimented with colonial racist mindset, by trying to be the racist while himself faced such subjugation from white racists.
BTW, these are all found in Navajeevan Publications are somewhere. Agains Telugu Daily - Andhra Bhoomi.
