Before leaving India he had made a vow to his mother to the Hindu precepts of abstinence from meat, alcohol, and promiscuity. To fulfil his family's wish Gandhi went to University College London at the age of 18 on 4th September 1888 to train as a barrister. A mediocre student barely passed the matriculation exam. They had four sons: Harilal Gandhi, born in 1888 Manilal Gandhi, born in 1892 Ramdas Gandhi, born in 1897 and Devdas Gandhi, born in 1900. At the age of 13, in May 1883 through his parents' arrangements was married to Kasturba Makhanji known as 'Ba'. From a very early age the tenets of non-injury to living beings, vegetarianism, fasting for self-purification and mutual tolerance between the members of various castes, Gandhi learnt from his devout mother and the jain influences.
Gandhi was born into the vaishya, or business, caste.
He was born to the diwan of Porbandar Karamchand Gandhi and Putlibai, a Hindu of the Pranami Vaishnava and fourth wife of Karamchand. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in a Hindu Modh family of Porbandar, Gujrat India.
