Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi<\/strong> was born on October 2, 1869<\/strong>, in Porbandar<\/strong>, a coastal town in present-day Gujarat, India. His father, Karamchand Gandhi, was the Diwan (chief minister)<\/strong> of Porbandar, and his mother, Putlibai, was deeply religious, instilling values of compassion and discipline in young Mohandas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gandhi grew up in a traditional Hindu household<\/strong>, heavily influenced by Jainism, a philosophy that emphasized nonviolence, truth, and self-restraint<\/strong>\u2014principles that would later become the foundation of his ideology. His early years were shaped by stories from Indian epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, which strengthened his moral outlook.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Education & Marriage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the age of 13<\/strong>, Gandhi was married to Kasturba Gandhi in a customary arranged marriage, a practice typical of the time. Though young, this experience profoundly impacted him, later leading him to question societal norms and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pursued his early education in Rajkot before traveling to London in 1888<\/strong> to study law at the Inner Temple<\/strong>, aspiring to become a barrister. During his time in England, he adapted to Western culture while holding on to his Indian roots. His stay exposed him to different religions and philosophies<\/strong>, which broadened his worldview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
