A Child o f India

Along the west coast of India, by the Arabian Sea, there

is a small town called Porbandar (pawr-BUHN-der). On

October 2, 1869, a baby boy was born there. He was named

Mohandas Gandhi (mo-huhn-DAHS GAHN-dee).

Mohandass parents influenced

him throughout his life.

Mohandass middle name

was Karamchand, after his

father's name. His mother s

name was Putlibai.

Mohandass family was good and honorable .

They lived a strict Hindu life. Mohandass father and

grandfather served as dewans (dih-WAHNZ), or government

advisors. This helped Mohandas to see the importance of public

service. His mother was very gentle and devout . This helped

form the way Mohandas saw the world.

What Is Hinduism?

Hinduism is a religion that teaches

that all living things are connected.

It says that everyone must treat every

other living thing with respect and love.

Hinduism is a common religion in India.

School Years

Mohandas went to elementary school in Porbandar. Learning

was difficult for him. Although he was kind and courteous and

tried hard at school, he was labeled a poor student.

When Mohandas was seven, his family moved to another city.

His father became a dewan there as well. Mohandass troubles

with school continued. He was very timid and shy, which made

things even more challenging. But Mohandas kept trying.

Future Greatness

Mohandas did not stand out during his school years, so

no one probably would have guessed that one day he

would become a great leader . But one thing happened

at school that showed the kind of man he would become.

An inspector came to his school to test the students on

what they knew. He gave the students a spelling test.

Mohandas misspelled a word. His teacher told him to

copy the word from a student next to him so that the

inspector wouldnt see the mistake. Mohandas would

not do it. He knew it was not an honorable thing to do.

Mohandas once said, The purpose of

education is to bring out the best in you.

Mohandas defied his

parents by playing with

his untouchable friend.

Mohandas did not like to see anyone suffer. He was

especially bothered by the caste system in India. The caste

system said that people were born into different classes , and

they should remain there all their lives. A person from one class
