Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869 in the coastal town of
Porbandar, one of scores of tiny princely states and now part of the
Indian state of Gujarat. Although the Gandhis, meaning grocers, were
merchants by caste, they had risen to important political positions.
Mohandas’s father was the chief administrator and member of the court
of Porbandar, and his grandfather that of the adjacent tiny state of
Junagadh.
