Question

write a short note on Mahatma Gandhi.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 into an Indian Gujarati Hindu Modh Baniya family in Porbandar a coastal town on the Kathiawar Peninsula and then part of the small princely state of Porbandar in the Kathiawar Agency of the Indian Empire.

• His father, Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi (1822–1885), served as the diwan (chief minister) of Porbandar state.

• Although he only had an elementary education and had previously been a clerk in the state administration, Karamchand proved a capable chief minister.

• During his tenure, Karamchand married four times. His first two wives died young, after each had given birth to a daughter, and his third marriage was childless.

• In 1857, Karamchand sought his third wife's permission to remarry; that year, he married Putlibai (1844–1891), who also came from Junagadh,and was from a Pranami Vaishnava family.Karamchand and Putlibai had three children over the ensuing decade: a son, Laxmidas (c. 1860–1914); a daughter, Raliatbehn (1862–1960); and another son, Karsandas (c. 1866–1913).

• On 2 October 1869, Putlibai gave birth to her last child, Mohandas, in a dark, windowless ground-floor room of the Gandhi family residence in Porbandar city.

• As a child, Gandhi was described by his sister Raliat as "restless as mercury, either playing or roaming about. One of his favourite pastimes was twisting dogs' ears.

• The Indian classics, especially the stories of Shravana and king Harishchandra, had a great impact on Gandhi in his childhood.

• In his autobiography, he admits that they left an indelible impression on his mind. He writes: "It haunted me and I must have acted Harishchandra to myself times without number."

• Gandhi's early self-identification with truth and love as supreme values is traceable to these epic characters.

• The family's religious background was eclectic.

• Gandhi's father Karamchand was Hindu and his mother Putlibai was from a Pranami Vaishnava Hindu family.

• Gandhi's father was of Modh Baniya caste in the varna of Vaishya.

• His mother came from the medieval Krishna bhakti-based Pranami tradition, whose religious texts include the Bhagavad Gita, the Bhagavata Purana, and a collection of 14 texts with teachings that the tradition believes to include the essence of the Vedas, the Quran and the Bible.

• Gandhi was deeply influenced by his mother, an extremely pious lady who would not think of taking her meals without her daily prayers.

• she would take the hardest vows and keep them without flinching.

• To keep two or three consecutive fasts was nothing to her.
