Mahatma Gandhi, as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, and expired on January 30, 1948, in Delhi; he was an Indian lawyer, politician, social activist, and writer who led the nationalist struggle against British rule in India. At the same time, he came to be known as the father of his country. Gandhi is globally renowned for his peaceful protest (satyagraha) ideology, which Gandhi was the Mahatma (“Great Soul”) in the eyes of millions of his fellow Indians. The thoughtless love of the large crowds who flocked to see him throughout his tours made them a problematic experience; he couldn’t work during the day or sleep at night. “The sorrows of the Mahatmas are known exclusively to the Mahatmas,” he wrote. His renown grew around the world throughout his lifetime and only grew after his death. Mahatma Gandhi’s name is now one of the most well-known in the world. He was used to accomplishing political and social reform. Gandhi was the boy of his father’s fourth marriage. His father, Ramchand Gandhi, was the dewan (chief minister) of Porbandar, the capital of a tiny principality in western India (in what is now Gujarat state) under British suzerainty. He was, however, a capable administrator who understood how to navigate between the temperamental monarchs, their patient followers, and the reckless British political officials in authority. Putlibai, Gandhi’s mother, was fully engaged in religion, did not care much for finery or jewelry, spent her time between her house and the temple, fasted often, and wore herself out in days and nights of nursing someone in the family became ill. Mohandas Gandhi was up in a family immersed in Vaishnavism (worship of the Hindu god Vishnu) with a strong tint of Jainism, a morally strict Indian religion whose main principles include nonviolence the conviction that everything in the cosmos is everlasting. As a result, he took ahimsa (non-injury to all living creatures), vegetarianism, fasting for self-purification, and mutual tolerance among members of diverse creeds and sects for granted.
