Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) was born on October
2, 1869, into a Hindu Modh family in Porbanadar, Gujarat, India. His
father, named Karamchand Gandhi, was the Chief Minister (diwan) of the
city of Porbanadar. His mother, named Putlibai, was the fourth wife; the
previous three wives died in childbirth. Gandhi was born into the vaishya
(business caste). He was 13 years old when married Kasturbai (Ba)
Makhanji, through his parents arrangement. They had four sons. Gandhi
learned tolerance and non-injury to living beings from an early
age. Gandhi studied law at the University of Bombay for one year, then
at the University College London, from which he graduated in 1891, and
was admitted to the bar of England.
He returned to Bombay and practiced law there for a year, then went to
