Yeah. I don't know how it is in Australia but here, unless you specifically take classes in things like civil liberties or humanitarian history or colonialism outside the Americas, you don't really learn Indian history, and you might only learn about Gandhi in reference to how he inspired the leaders of the black civil rights movement here in the US. Which is frustrating because you don't learn about how British government and British business systematically and systemically oppressed the people of pretty much any country they colonized in the name of money. And I think it's important to have that perspective and context.
