On his 73rd death anniversary, people are remembering Mahatma Gandhi and everything he did for India that led to our independence. Well, almost all people.
It's an important day and still, Bapu is getting disrespected by not only some Indians who are praising Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated him, but also apparently foreigners who have vandalized his statue.

The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) California Advocacy Director Easan Katir said, "We condemn this cowardly desecration and call upon the Department of Homeland Security and FBI to investigate this hate crime, as it was likely done with the intention of intimidating the Indian American community."
#Gandhi statue decapitation in Davis CA should be investigated by @DHSgov @FBI as a hate crime. Make no mistake @GavinNewsom @CityofDavis this is not about legacy of Gandhi as a person, but about intimidating India & Indian Americans: https://t.co/8W7G3MBM61 pic.twitter.com/iwqq0OWLpu

People are obviously angry but as we saw this morning, there are some people who are elated as well.
Modern Day Nathu Ram Godse :)
RSS's BJP producing such bigoted people.
Imagine calling Bapu 'fake'.
Fake people don't deserve to be carved in stones...
People have some hints about who did this.
This possibly is a hate crime perpetrated by Godse followers of the @RSSorg and @VHPDigital

Good answer.
No. Would you dare tell the @kingcenter1968 that the same Gandhi statue displayed at the MLK Natl Historic Park, in honor of the profound influence Gandhi had on MLK and the US civil rights movement, was “rammed down the American throat"? https://t.co/HZf6nJjm3z

Racism, everywhere.
This is disgusting. And people say that anti-India and anti-Hindu sentiment don't exist in the U.S.

The Indian government is obviously condemning it.
Flash: Indian govt strongly condems the vandalisation of statue of Mahatma Gandhi. Statue was gifted to City of Davis,California by Indian Govt in 2016. India's Consulate General of India in San Francisco @nagentv taken up the matter with the City of Davis. https://t.co/dUJlfn7pXq pic.twitter.com/MB8CoaoPjb
