Ghana University Removing The Statue Of Gandhi From Its Campus Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

If the professors and boys want,
Let them,
Let them remove
The statue of Gandhi
For allegedly, purportedly making
Racist remarks
Which but he has not now.

Had he been alive, we would have
Definitely lodged the complaint with,
But now he is dead and gone,
So, how to report about
His so-called remarks.

But if you have to install a statue
Of an African or Ghanaian leader,
You my gladly,
But blame you not Gandhi
After his death
When he is no more in this world
To hear you, to redress your grievance.

You may definitely remove the statue of Gandhi
From your varsity campus,
But say you it not
That Gandhi was a racist
As it hurts us,
Hurts the common sentiments,
You may criticize,
Criticize him,
But slander him not,
Do you not mud-slining.
