Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (pronounced [ˈmoːɦənd̪aːs ˈkərəmtʃənd̪ ˈɡaːnd̪ʱi] ( listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma (Sanskrit: "high-souled", "venerable")—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa,[3]—is now used worldwide. He is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for "father", "papa") in India.

Early life and background
Gandhi was born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, or "Mohan", on 2 October 1869 to Karamchand Gandhi (called Kaba) and his wife Putlibai[12] in a many-roomed, three-story house in Porbandar[13] which is the present day Kirti Mandir – a temple of peace.[14] Gandhi’s birthplace is in Kathiawar Peninsula (also known as Saurashtra), a region today part of Gujarat state in India,[15] but then within the Bombay Presidency of British India.[16] Described by Gandhi as "a lover of his clan, truthful, brave and generous",[17] his father was the Diwan (chief minister) of Porbandar at the time of Gandhi’s birth,[18] but later became the Diwan of Rajkot in 1876.[19] Gandhi's grandfather Uttamchand Gandhi was also the Diwan of Porbandar.[20] His mother, Putlibai, who was from a Pranami Vaishnava family,[21][22] was Karamchand's fourth wife, the first three wives having apparently died in childbirth.[23][24]
