Mahatma Gandhi was born and raised in a Hindu family. He was born along the coastal regions of Gujarat and in Western India. He lived a significant portion of his life in London and completed his education there. Even in London, Gandhiji had acquired a considerable crowd to follow his teachings and principles.
Ahimsa was a term that he had coined in London while studying law. He was called to decide at the tender age of twenty-two. He did his first adjudication in June in the year 1891. He did come back to India for two years after his education. However, these two years were very challenging for him. He remained in his native place of Gujarat and practiced law here. He could not secure himself a proper license for several years in India. He could not start a successful practice in the field of law.
