Answer 2

Mohandas k. Gandhi was born in 1869, in porbandar, India. Mohandas was from the social cast of tradesmen. His mother was illiterate but her common sense & religious devotion had a lasting impact on Gandhi's character. As a youngster, Mohandas was a good student, but the shy young boy displayed no signs of leadership. On the death of his father, Mohandas travelled to England to gain a degree in law. He became involved with the vegetarian society & was once asked to translate Hindu Bhagavad Gita. This classic of Hindu literature awakened in Gandhi a sense of pride in the indian scriptures, of which the Gita was the Pearl.
Around this time, he also studied the bible & was struck by the teachings of Jesus christ - especially the emphasis on humility & forgiveness. He remained committed to the bible & Bhagavad Gita throughout his life, though he was critical of aspects of both religions.
