Ghana university profs protest new Gandhi statue
Professors at a university in Ghana's capital Accra have started a campaign seeking to remove a statue of Mahatma Gandhi, unveiled by President Pranab Mukherjee. They raised issues with Gandhi's "racist identity", claiming that he said Africans were "only one degree removed from animals". They demanded that the university feature statues of Ghanaian heroes like their first president Kwame Nkrumah.
