Gandhiji left for London in 1888 to study law. He was born in 1869, making him 19 years old at the time. This was a formative period where he encountered new ideas and cultures that shaped his philosophy.

Devdas Gandhi (1900–1957) was the fourth and youngest son of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi.
