Gandhi’s bust unveiled in South African province where Indians were banned for over century

JOHANNESBURG: (Apr 17) A larger-than-life bust of Mahatma Gandhi has been unveiled at the Anglo-Boer War Museum in the Free State province of South Africa, where apartheid legislation banned Indians for over a century.

The bust in bronze by Padma Bhushan Awardee Ram Vangi Sutar was donated to the museum by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations.

It was unveiled on April 11 by Indian High Commissioner Prabhat Kumar alongside a documentary and a book on the hitherto untold story of the Indian involvement in the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. PTI
