Was born on 5 feb 1990 in Porbandar, a coastal town which was then part of the Bombay Presidency, British . my father, Karamchand Gandhi who belonged to the Hindu Modh community, served as the diwan of Porbander state, a small princely state in the Kathiawar agency of British India. my grandfather was Uttamchand Gandhi, fondly called Utta Gandhi. my mother Putlibai, who came from the Hindu Pranami Vaishnava community, was Karamchand's fourth wife the first three wives having apparently died in childbirth.Growing up with a devout mother and the Jain traditions of the region, the young Mohandas absorbed early the influences that would play an important role in his adult life; these included compassion for sentient beings, vegetarianism, fasting for self-purification, and mutual tolerance between individuals of different creeds.
