It's worth noting that while Gandhi fought *for* Indian civil rights in South Africa, he was openly *against* black civil rights in South Africa at the same time.
Yes Gandhi was a champion for Indian civil rights but he was not a champion for civil rights in general as he viewed Africans as less than indians. He wanted Indians to be treated equally to the British above the Native Africans. In fact because of this racism he is widely hated in Ghana and many parts of South Africa.
you did not mention Rahul Gandhi and his family, although not directly descended from Mohandas Karamchand , the story of how they got their name is very interesting and intriguing
they are not related to Mahatma Ghandi at all. His grandfather was Feroze Ghandy, who changed his last name to Gandhi in honor of Mahatma. The Congress dynasty use the name for obvious reasons, but they are not related by blood to the man.
India fought for Britain in two world wars therefore India was promoted from colony to a dominion in the commonwealth as it was done to Australia, Canada, South Africa and Ireland decades before. But few years later India declared itself a republic and ended the status of British monarch as their head of state.
They aren't step siblings, they're half siblings. Step siblings have completely different parents from each other. Half siblings have one parent in common.
@@sandeepkamath9339 he didn't deny her penicillin. Her conditions were bad. Really bad and the doctors told Gandhi that she couldn't be saved. That's why he let her pass away and free her of her pain.
That is most probably because Rahul's actual last name should have been ghandy if his grandfather didn't change his name ...most probably for political reasons..
A sibling is someone with whom you share at least one parent. In other words, “half-sibling” is a meaningless term. You can have a half-brother or a half-sister but they’re still your sibling(s). Equally meaningless would be “step-sibling” as a term. A sibling is a blood relative; a step-relative is not. So you can’t have a blood relative who isn’t a blood relative.
@@DrewGJackson A half-sibling means you only have one parent in common, where as step-sibling means your parents are married but not biologically related to each other. It is perfectly legal for step-siblings to get married but illegal (In most places) to marry your half-sibling . Saying someone is a half-sibling doesn't mean they are lesser then a full sibling just an explanation that that you only have one parent in common. If my son talks about his sister at school I am sure someone would wonder why she doesn't go to the same school or live with us. If he says his half-sister then it automatically explains this and the fact she lives with her mother most of the time. This doesn't make them any less siblings, they still play and argue just the same as all siblings since the beginning of time, just not all the time. All words are meaning less if you want to go back far enough, that isn't a good argument.
As you state yourself, "Mahatma" is a title, not a name. The family trees and such should call him "Mohandas", since that was his actual name. Also, while it is true that the other famous Gandhis in India, like Indira and Rajiv, are not relatives of Mahatma Gandhi at all, I expected you to mention that, since some may not realize it, not just ignore them.
Can you do “are there any riel’s left” for the Canadian civil rights activist Louis Riel, I’m very interested in this because I am a descendant of riel but I do not hold his last name
BloodRider 1914 I believe there is, Emperor Puyi and he died in a hospital in Beijing in the 60s so it’s possible grand children still exist living normal lives in China
Well, Puyi did not have any children. But His father Zaitian had 70 concubines and three consorts and one empress. So, probably, he impregnated most of them. But some of them who identified themselves as the descendants of Puyi were either executed during the Wuchen rebellion or during the cultural revolution. Mao personally ordered the son of Zaitan with one of his concubines and lived in Yunnan to be killed during the cultural revolution.
Thank you name explain On top of me loving your videos I like you made this video Finally one person in here England is finally talking good about our race
There are over 120 descendants of Ghandi Today. Even some of them are living in the U.S. I even met one of the future great-great-great grandchildren when was in Detroit making a film.
Although it may seem like Gandhi was a hero in South Africa, his “civil rights” movement was to make Indians the same level as whites, but he wanted Africans to stay segregated, he was very racist against black people, and in India he was very islamophobic. I don’t know how you got “very sympathetic for muslims” he wanted them dead. Watch Knowing Better’s video
They are fake Gandhi . Because Indira married a Muslim as she was a political leader and India was a Hindu majority country Mahatma Gandhi gave his surname to her.

Whoa this comment section is so toxic. You guys are nit-picking on Gandhi for no good reason. He was a very important politician for us here in India and he played a significant role in the freedom movement. Talking about some of his personal views, well then, give him a break, Gandhi was born in the 19th century. Most people in those days had lots of messed up views. Former US President Woodrow Wilson is a good example of that. Also, a lot of these "personal views" of Gandhi come from the British press, which was heavily biased against Gandhi and Indian Independence activists, hence the consistent demonizing of Gandhi was done by the British press.

Disclaimer:Constructive criticism Your title was about whether are there any Gandhis left. You focused most of your video on who Mahatma Gandhi was. Again coming to his name surviving. You reduced the survival just to his descendants. Gandhi is a popular name that exists in India. Like Smith in America.

The colonists were so effin' cruel. Can't believe they just left one day on their own will, after sucking the riches out of their colonies like a leech, without even paying equivalent reparations to those countries.
They are not relative with Mahatma Gandhi. Indira Gandhi was the daughter of the first president of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, a friend of Mahatma Gandhi. Indira Gandhi and her children and grandchildren, you talk about have their last name by Feroze Jehangir Gandhi, a politician with persian roots.
because they are not related to Mahatma Gandhi himself. Indira Gandhi's father was Feroze Gandy, who changed his name to honor Mahatma. So he didn't miss anything, and your smartass statement goes into the bin
You could at least spend a sentence on Indira Ghandi. She's not related of course. If I recall correctly she married a man of the name Ghandi to further her political aspirations with a well known name in India
she did not marry Feroze Gandy for political reasons, they met before Ghandi even returned to India from the UK. Her descendants continue to use the name however, for political reasons.
No, those Gandhis aren't related to Mahatma. What happened was that Nehru's son-in-law Feroze, changed his surname to Gandhi in honour of Mahatma, before marrying Nehru's daughter Indira. Indira of course had a son, Rajiv, who succeeded her as PM after her assassination. Their descendants continue to play a role in Indian politics to this day, but again, bear no relation to Mahatma Gandhi.
