Mahatma Gandhi: Early Life and Family Background
He was born on 2 October, 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat. However, the violence broke out; Gandhiji had to suspend the movement as people were not disciplined enough.
He soon accepted a position with an Indian firm that sent him to its office in South Africa. Later, one of his family friends Mavji Dave Joshi pursued further studies i.e. Thereafter 10 days after arrival, he joined the Inner Temple, one of the four London law colleges, and studied and practiced law. No doubt, he also improved the lives of India's poor people.
Gandhiji was arrested on May 4. In Indian history, he is considered the most prominent personality and as the simplest person who wears a dhoti. The magistrate postponed the trial and released him without bail and the case against him was withdrawn. In 1915 when Gandhiji returned from South Africa he had established his ashram at Kochrab near Ahmedabad.
At the end of 3 days both the parties agreed on arbitration. In London, he also joined a Vegetarian Society and was introduced to Bhagavad Gita by some of his vegetarian friends. Born in 1869, Mohandas' life took a pivotal turn when he encountered the title that would forever shape his legacy: Mahatma.
He was also considered the father of the country.
