Mohandas k. Gandhi, the mahatma, the father of indian independence, remains an enigma despite the fact that virtually everyone knows who he was. He lived with a politically active father and a religiously devout mother, but as a child, he displayed no particular brilliance. He went to school and gave no indication of academic promise. He studied law in england, did well, and returned to india where his law practice eventually failed. When he accepted a job in south africa, it was because he had no other prospects.
