Looking Up Random Stuff Online About Animation Stuff And I Came Across This!
A Little Fact!
- While regarded as a Cult Classic in its native North America, Clone High is infamous for the massive backlash in India due to the show's portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi as a raging, sex-obsessed party animal. As Gandhi is a highly revered figure in India for helping them gain independence from British rule, many Indian viewers found this extremely disrespectful, and the protests that sparked helped contribute to the show's abrupt cancellation. It should be noted, however, that the Gandhi in the show isn't actually Gandhi; he's a clone who cracked under the pressure to live up to Gandhi because he's so well-revered.
