After matriculating from the high school, Gandhiji joined the Samaldas College in Bhavnagar. It was a new world for young Mohan and offered immense opportunities to explore new ideas and to reflect on the philosophy and religion of his own country.    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, at Porbandar, a small town on the western coast of India, which was then one of the many tiny states in Kathiawar.

Disorders broke out
immediately all over India and many violent demonstrations took place. Gandhiji organised the Indian community in South Africa and asked them to forget all distinctions of religion and caste. It was winter and bitterly cold. His simplistic lifestyle won him, admirers, both in India and the outside world. Gandhiji returned to Rajkot but here also he could not make much headway.

In the general elections held in Britain in 1945, Labour Party came to power, and Mr.Atlee became the Prime Minister. A Cabinet Mission arrived from England to discuss with Indian leaders the future shape of a free and united India, but failed to bring the Hindus and Muslims together. a white passenger who boarded the train objected to the presence of a "coloured" man in the compartment and Gandhji was ordered by a railway official to shift to a third class.

In Indian history, he is considered the most prominent personality and as the simplest person who wears a dhoti. He went on fast to death in protest and concluded only after the British accepted Poona Pact.

In 1933, he started weekly publication of Harijan replacing Young India. There he had a first-hand experience of racial discrimination when he was thrown out of the first-class apartment of the train despite holding the first-class ticket because it was reserved for white people only and no Indian or black was allowed to travel in the first class.

His father’s name was Karamchand Gandhi and his mother’s name was Putlibai. He asked the Indians to boycott foreign cloth and promote hand spun khadi thus creating work for the villagers. This angered some fundamentalists and on January 30, 1948 Gandhiji was shot dead by one such fundamentalist Nathu Ram Godse while he was going for his evening prayers.   The last words on the lips of Gandhiji were Hey Ram.
