The problem with graven images is that they have feet of clay.


Ok, that's a predictable title to introduce: Gandhi statue vandalized in Central Park


By the way, it's not that Central Park, but one in Yolo County, California.

There are several such incidents around the world -- the UK, the Netherlands, Washington DC.

The defacing graffiti are about racism and sexual predation -- charges that are not by current standards completely without merit.


It's interesting is that when the statue's erection was discussed, a group called the Organization for Minorities of India voiced its opposition to the statue.
It is undisputed that Gandhi was a hero to many, but it should be (noted that) he was also a bigot and predator of members of his own family,” Sacramento businessman Amar Shergil.
