Mahatma Gandhi is known all over the world as the anti-colonial nationalist who used nonviolent protests to lead India to its independence. His nonviolent resistance influenced global leaders worldwide and changed the course of world history. However, as great as he is in the annals of history, Gandhi started out from humble beginnings. Primary Education Gandhi attended the local school in his hometown at age nine. This is where he studied basic mathematics, the Gujarati language, history, and geography. He was not a remarkable student in any way, was shy, and was not good at physical activities either. High School Education After completing his primary education, Gandhi entered Alfred High School at age 11. He remained a mediocre student but seemed to have an aptitude for English. However, he did not seem to have performed well in geography. His shyness and timidity still hounded him, but otherwise, he was a well-behaved student. His handwriting remained terribly illegible, and scholars believe that this is because Gandhi originally learned to write on dust with his fingers. At age 13, he was married to a girl of the same age, and it was also around this time that his father fell ill. After India attained its independence in 1947, Alfred High School was renamed Mohandas Gandhi High School. The school stopped its operations in 2017 and was turned into a museum. College Education In 1888, at the age of 18, Gandhi entered Samaldas College in Bhavnagar but soon dropped out. H...

Was Mahatma Gandhi a qualified lawyer? If you are to believe the Lieutenant-Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha, the answer is a resounding ‘no’. Speaking at ITM University, Gwalior, he said that the popular belief about Bapu’s educational qualifications was false. He said he spoke with definite knowledge that, other than a high school diploma, Bapu had no educational qualification. What his statement implies is that Mohandas Gandhi was a fraud lawyer. He practised law in India and South Africa without a degree, even hoodwinked London’s Inner Temple into admitting him to the bar. Bapu called himself a “barrister without a brief”. Now Sinha has branded him a barrister without degrees. Let’s read Bapu’s views on higher education: “Education does not mean a knowledge of letters, but it means character building. It means a knowledge of duty.” – Excerpt from ‘My Childhood With Gandhiji’, Page 73. Gandhi’s bar enrollment certificate. All pictures courtesy: Gandhi Research Foundation, Jalgaon Early education and next steps As a child, Mohan was enrolled in a kindergarten in Porbandar. When his father, Karamchand Bappa, took up employment in the court of the Thakur of Rajkot as his divan (prime minister), the family moved there and young Mohan (he was referred to as ‘Moniyo’) was enrolled into a kindergarten there. Later, he was admitted to Alfred High School in 1880, where he received primary and high school education. Mohan wasn’t a brilliant student. He was mediocre, he s...

Gandhi's failure to secure commutation of Bhagat Singh's execution has provided his critics a convenient weapon to attack him. He has been accused of making half-hearted effort and even deception - for the alleged discrepancy between his actual role and his public statements. This paper attempts to establish that while following a consistent approach towards revolutionary violence, Gandhi tried his best to save the lives of Bhagat Singh and his colleagues till the last moment. The paper also discusses Gandhi's strategy to focus on suspension rather than commutation of the death sentence. Scrutinized in the light of the recorded history these prove to be clever distortions to misguide the gullible. Gandhiji in those days was very active in the rough and tumble of politics. The proposal for partition of the country and violent reaction against it generated tensions which ultimately resulted in sectarian killings on a scale unprecedented in human history. For the ethnic Muslims, Gandhiji was a Hindu leader who opposed creation of Pakistan on sectarian grounds. Ethnic Hindus looked upon him as an impediment of their plan to revenge the atrocities on Hindus. Godse was a child of this extremist thinking. Was Mahatma Gandhi a qualified lawyer?

New Delhi: Mahatma Gandhi’s educational qualifications have become a hotly contested issue, with Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s remarks that he qualified to practice law without even needing a law degree drawing objections from author Tushar Gandhi, the freedom fighter’s great-grandson. At a keynote address at the Ram Manohar Lohia Memorial Lecture at ITM University, Gwalior, Thursday , Sinha had labelled Mahatma Gandhi’s law degree as a “misconception”, claiming that the only had a high school diploma but was so “educated” he was able to pursue law. “Gandhi did a lot for the nation. But everything that was achieved, the focal point of it was Truth. If you look at all the aspects of his life, there was nothing besides Truth in his life. Whatever the challenges, Mahatma Gandhi never abandoned truth & identified his inner voice. As a result, he became Father of the Nation,” Sinha said. The remarks on his degrees drew criticism from Tushar Gandhi, who invoked an old controversy involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi and took a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party’s claims that he had a degree in “entire political science”. ‘I agree,” Tushar said in the first of a series of tweets Friday. “Bapu didn’t hold a degree in entire law.”  He then went on to clarify that his great-grandfather matriculated from two institutions — Rajkot’s Alfred High School followed by the University of London. After matriculating, Gandhi stud...
