Tomorrow is Gandhi Jayanti.
Gandhiji ' s father is Karamchand Gandhi.
Karamchand had a very little formal education. But his knowledge and experience made him a good administrator.
He was brave and generous but had very bad temper.
Gandhiji' s mother is Putlibai.
She was deeply religious. Everyday she worshipped at the temple. She was widely respected for her wisdom and good sense.
Gandhiji or Mohandas is the youngest of 6 children.
He was the favourite child of the family. He was called Moniya by his parents and friends.
As a child, Moniya liked to stay at home.
If one of his brothers tease him, he always complain to his mother.
Mother would ask why didn't you hit him?
Moniya would say, how can you teach me to hit people, mother?
Why should I hit anyone?
This was his prompt reply.
His mother often wondered, from where her little son got such ideas??
This shows from the childhood, Gandhiji was non violence minded.
