Gandhi changed the world because he fought for and won rights for
Indian people. This is the story of how he grew up and became a hero…
Mohandas K. Gandhi is Born
Gandhi was born on October 2, 1896. He was
born in Pobander, a town in Kathiawar Agency.
When he was born his dad, Karamchand
Gandhi, served as the diwan (chief minister). His
mother, Putlibai Gandhi, came from a
community called Pranani Vaishnava. She was
Karamchand 4th wives. The other 3 died in child
birth.
Gandhi Married
When Gandhi was 13 he was married to a
women named Kasturba Makanji. At
Gandhi’s time you could get married at 13.
He was married in May 1883. Gandhi missed
a year at school in the process of doing that.
Gandhi’s Kids
Gandhi had his 1st kid at 15, but the baby only
lived a few days. His dad also had died earlier
that year. Mohandas decided he wanted 4 kids
and he did have 4 kids. Their names were
Harilal, Manial, Ramdas, Devdas. Harilal, was
born in 1888 and, Manial was born in 1892.
Ramdas was born in 1897, and Devdas was
born in 1900.
Salt March
Gandhi was best known for his peaceful
protests. One of his most successful ones was
the Salt March. He did it so he could make
the British stop taxing salt. He walked 241
miles collecting salt. Lot of people joined
Gandhi because they thought it was
ridiculous that the British were taxing salt.
Fasting (Not Eating)
Since Gandhi was treated badly by the British
he would not eat. People started to do the same
thing. The British couldn’t do anything about
it. His most popular fast was the Rajkot fast. It
was the longest time he had fasted, and, he did
it in Rajkot.
Will Miss You Gandhi
Gandhi died on January 30, 1948 (aged 78) in
New Delhi the Dominion of India. People still
fought for India’s rights. They fasted like
Gandhi. They still marched like Gandhi too.
Gandhi made an impact on peoples lives by his
non-violent protest.
