Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography detailing Gandhi’s twenty-year stay in South Africa and his attitudes and behavior in the nation’s political context. In the pantheon of freedom fighters, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi has pride of place. His fame and influence extend far beyond India and are nowhere more significant than in South Africa. “India gave us a Mohandas, we gave them a Mahatma,” goes a popular South African refrain. Contemporary South African leaders, including Mandela, have consistently lauded him as being part of the epic battle to defeat the racist white regime. The South African Gandhi focuses on Gandhi’s first leadership experiences and the complicated man they reveal—a man who actually supported the British Empire. Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed unveil a man who, throughout his stay on African soil, stayed true to Empire while showing a disdain for Africans. For Gandhi, whites and Indians were bonded by an Aryan bloodline that had no place for the African. Gandhi’s racism was matched by his class prejudice towards the Indian indentured. He persistently claimed that they were ignorant and needed his leadership, and he wrote their resistances and compromises in surviving a brutal labor regime out of history. The South African Gandhi writes the indentured and working class back into history. The authors show that Gandhi never missed an opportunity to show his loyalty to Empire, with a particular penchant for war as a means to do so. He served as an Empire stretcher-bearer in the Boer War while the British occupied South Africa, he demanded guns in the aftermath of the Bhambatha Rebellion, and he toured the villages of India during the First World War as recruiter for the Imperial army. This meticulously researched book punctures the dominant narrative of Gandhi and uncovers an ambiguous figure whose time on African soil was marked by a desire to seek the integration of Indians, minus many basic rights, into the white body politic while simultaneously excluding Africans from his moral compass and political ideals. Praise for The South African Gandhi “In this impressively researched study, two South African scholars of Indian background bravely challenge political myth-making on both sides of the Indian Ocean that has sought to canonize Gandhi as a founding father of the struggle for equality there. They show that the Mahatma-to-be carefully refrained from calling on his followers to throw in their lot with the black majority. The mass struggle he finally led remained an Indian struggle.” —Joseph Lelyveld, author of Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India “This is a wonderful demonstration of meticulously researched, evocative, clear-eyed and fearless history writing. It uncovers a story, some might even call it a scandal, that has remained hidden in plain sight for far too long. The South African Gandhi is a big book. It is a serious challenge to the way we have been taught to think about Gandhi.” —Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things

Download or read book Call Me Kaffir written by MR Lesley B Chiloane and published by Lesley Chiloane. This book was released on 2016-12-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book: the conversation continues... "Call Me Kaffir!: A calling many black South Africans still answer to..." is a brave, frank and yet narrative confrontational non-fiction opinion piece cutting across on South African historical politics, current affairs, economic, religious and socio-cultural lifestyle. The author digs deep from his soul and pulls from the gutter, the "dustbin of apartheid" and "colonial effects," on black Africans, in his subtle satirical and unapologetic writing manner, a thorny and controversial racial issue of the all forbidden "Kaffir" name and calling of back people. Through a tricky yet informative and educational narrative, it is designed to confront black South Africans for their ignorant and arrogant ways which the author argues condones and affirms the allege calling. The book describes black South Africans as a people, whom through their own black Political Government have allegedly failed most part of its constituency (themselves), while as an ignorant and arrogant people whom as he puts it, definitely have failed themselves through ignorance and stupid arrogance. A people that continues to cry foul every time they are referred to as 'Kaffir' while they continue to behave exactly like allege 'Kaffirs' at every given opportunity they get, Mr. Chiloane declares. This surely must kick up some storm and controversy. However, Lesley's writing attitude is of a hardcore confrontational nature with a twist of pun and his deliberate neglect to take any prisoners or harbor any sympathy, makes it an interesting read. The book surely lives up to its bold and controversial title, Call Me Kaffir!, which will definitely give it an edge. He asserts that, "When a people abandon and discard their own indigenous cultures and languages to worship and embrace those of the colonial slave-master at the expense of those of their own ancestors and then claim to be free and liberated, that was always going to be a recipe for disaster!" His use of pun and by occasionally mocking the reader succeeds in making the book an entertaining reader affair. By making reference to his previous book, "Compromised Democracy: The Not So Successful Side of our Freedom," while announcing his intension with his next title, "African National Criminals: The Dark Side of Liberators who became Evil People of the Lie," the author is surely cultivating a solid long term and trustworthy relationship with his readers. He has already started writing his next book, "and oh boy, the house is definitely coming down!," he promises... The piece, Call Me Kaffir!, can easily be a useful personal motivational and social educational tool judging from a variety of sources and quotes the author uses to present his deliberate bias opinions, arguments and conclusions. Lesley warns that "History will judge us harshly on our actions and so will our future generations for returning them back to economic slavery! It may have already began to punish and treat us harshly for our ignorance and sins..." The book appeals to all social, political, cultural and current affairs readers and while the author claims to have written the book for black South Africans, he however concedes it will attract both white and international readers as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kafiristan, or "The Land of the Infidels," was a region of eastern Afghanistan where the inhabitants had retained their traditional pagan culture and religion and rejected conversion to Islam. The Káfirs of the Hindu-Kush is a detailed ethnographic account of the Kafirs, written by George Scott Robertson (1852-1916), a British administrator in India. With the approval of the government of India, Robertson made a preliminary visit to Kafiristan in October 1889, and then lived among the Kafirs for almost a year, from October 1890 to September 1891. Robertson describes his journey from Chitral (in present-day Pakistan) to Kafiristan and the difficulties he encountered in traveling about the country and in gaining information about the Kafir culture and religion. The latter, he writes, "is a somewhat low form of idolatry, with an admixture of ancestor-worship and some traces of fire-worship also. The gods and goddesses are numerous, and of varying degrees of importance or popularity." Robertson describes religious practices and ceremonies, the tribal and clan structure of Kafir society, the role of slavery, the different villages in the region, and everyday life and social customs, including dress, diet, festivals, sport, the role of women in society, and much else that he observed first-hand. The book is illustrated with drawings, and it concludes with a large fold-out topographical map, which shows the author's route in Kafiristan. In 1896 the ruler of Afghanistan, Amir 'Abd al-Rahman Khan (reigned 1880-1901), conquered the area and brought it under Afghan control. The Kafirs became Muslims and in 1906 the region was renamed Nuristan, meaning the "Land of Light," a reference to the enlightenment brought by Islam.
