Explanation:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in the town of Porbander in Gujarat on 2ndOctober 1869. He did his schooling, in Rajkot Gujarat. At that time India was under British rule. His father died before Gandhi could finish his schooling.
At the age of thirteen, Gandhi got married to Kasturba, who was even younger. In 1888, he set sail for England, where he decided to pursue a degree .
After one year of a none too successful law practice, Gandhi decided to accept an offer from an Indian businessman in South Africa, Dada Abdulla, to join him as a legal adviser. During those days, the Indians who were living in South Africa were without political rights, and were generally known by the derogatory name of ‘coolies’.
Gandhi himself came to an awareness of the frightening force when he was thrown out of a first-class railway compartment car, though he held a first-class ticket, at Pietermaritzburg.
From this political awakening, Gandhi was to emerge as the leader of the Indian community, and it was in South Africa that he first coined the term satyagraha to signify his theory and practice of non-violent resistance. Gandhi was to describe himself as a seeker of satya (truth), which could not be attained other than through ahinsa (non-violence, love) and brahmacharya (celibacy, striving towards God).
Gandhi returned to India in early 1915 with the determination of raising an awareness among people for their rights. Over the next few years, he was to become involved in numerous local struggles, such as at Champaran in Bihar, where workers on indigo plantations complained of oppressive working conditions, and at Ahmadabad, where a dispute had broken out between management and workers at textile mills.
