If ever there was a man who single handedly steered the course of a nation and its people leading them from a subjugated subservient state in awe of their colonizers to a self – confident population demanding freedom from imperial domination it was without doubt, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Born on 2nd October 1869 in a Modh Bania family. Monia as his parents affectionately called him was the favourite of his teachers. His father Karamchand was politically influential and his mother Putlibai was well informed about all matters of state.
