MAHATMA GANGHI

MAHATMA GANDHI (childhood)

The oil of truth is the wick of non-violence,
Amar Jyoti kept on burning.....
Your footsteps per Bapu,
May the world go on.....


 1.Birth and Parentage

   Mahatma Gandhi was born and raised into a Gujarati Hindu  Modh Baniya family in Porbandar, also known as sudamapuri,a coastal town on the Kathiawar peninsula and then part of the small Princely state of Porbandar, present Gujarat state, western India ,on 2nd October 1869. His father, Karamchand Gandhi ,served as the diwan(chief minister) of Porbandar state. Gandhi's father belonged to a family that was well known and highly respected in Porbandar as well as in neighboring states like Rajkot and Junagarh. He had an ideal helpmate in Gandhi's mother, Putlibai, bore him a daughter and three sons , I being the youngest. 

2.Mahatma Gandhi's Childhood and schooling

 Gandhi's full name is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, his primary education in the same city.I can well recollect those days, including the names and other particulars of the teachers who taught me. Surprisingly, he was not the bright topper student you’d imagine. In fact, he used to learn by writing with his finger in the dust. During his early school days, he was neither measured to be very gifted in the academics nor in sports.

4.Mahatma Gandhi's high school and college

    During his high school days, it was noted that he was good at English, fair in arithmetic, weak in geography, good in conduct but for bad in handwriting. After enriching students for 164 long years, the school was later renamed to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi High School in his memory and was shut down in May 2017, making way for a museum.
     After completing his schooling in Ahmadabad in 1887, in 1888, Mahatma Gandhi registered himself in Samaldas Arts College, which was one of the few degree-granting institutions in the region at the time. Along with Gandhi, it was also the college of Jawahar Lal Nehru.
    In 1887 Mohandas(Mahatma Gandhi) scraped through the matriculation examination of the University of Bombay (now University of Mumbai) and joined Samaldas Arts College in Bhavnagar (Bhaunagar). As he had to suddenly switch from his native language—Gujarati—to English, he found it rather difficult to follow the lectures.

     His family was debating his future. Left to himself, he would have liked to have been a doctor. But, besides the Vaishnava prejudice against vivisection, it was clear that, if he was to keep up the family tradition of holding high office in one of the states in Gujarat, he would have to qualify as a barrister. That meant a visit to England, and Mohandas, who was not too happy at Samaldas Arts College, jumped at the proposal. His youthful imagination conceived England as “a land of philosophers and poets, the very center of civilization.” But there were several hurdles to be crossed before the visit to England could be realized. His father had left the family little property; moreover, his mother was reluctant to expose her youngest child to unknown temptations and dangers in a distant land. But Mohandas was determined to visit England. One of his brothers raised the necessary money, and his mother’s doubts were allayed when he took a vow that, while away from home, he would not touch wine, women, or meat.

     Mohandas(Mahatma Gandhi ) disregarded the last obstacle—the decree of the leaders of the Modh Bania subcaste, to which the Gandhis belonged, who forbade his trip to England as a violation of the Hindu religion—and sailed in September 1888. Ten days after his arrival, he joined the Inner Temple, one of the four London law colleges (The Temple).Mahatma Gandhi took his studies seriously and tried to brush up on his English and Latin by taking the University of London matriculation examination.
