Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869. He was born in Porbandar, India. His family practiced Hinduism. At the early age of fourteen, he married Kasturbai Makhanji. It was an arranged marriage. Just a year later, they had their first child. Unfortunately, their child only survived a few days before dying. His father, Karamchand Gandhi, also died that year. But, the couple later had four more children. They were all boys. Although Gandhi was a poor student, he intended to study in school to become a barrister.
Gandhi was twenty-four years old when he moved to South Africa. He worked as a legal representative for the Muslim Indian Traders. After spending twenty-one years in Africa, he developed his political views and leadership skills. While living in South Africa, Gandhi faced much discrimination. After refusing to move from first class, he was thrown off a train. When he refused to make room for a European passenger, a train driver beat him. He was denied the entry to several hotels, and was forced to remove his turban by court order.
