Devdas Mohandas Gandhi (22 May 1900 – 3 August 1957) was the fourth and youngest son ofMahatma Gandhi andKasturba Gandhi. He was born in theColony of Natal and came to India with his parents as a grown man. He became active in his father's movement, spending many terms in jail. He also became a prominent journalist, serving as editor ofHindustan Times. He was also the firstpracharak of theDakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha (DBHPS), established by Mohandas Gandhi in Tamil Nadu in 1918. The purpose of the Sabha was to propagate Hindi in southern India.[3]

Family

[edit]

Devdas fell in love with Lakshmi, the daughter ofC. Rajagopalachari, Devdas's father's associate in theIndian independence struggle. Due to Lakshmi's age at that time – she was only 15 and Devdas was 28 – both Devdas's father and Rajaji asked the couple to wait for five years without seeing each other. After five years had passed, they were married with their fathers' permissions in 1933.[4]

Devdas and Lakshmi had four children includingRajmohan Gandhi,Gopalkrishna Gandhi andRamchandra Gandhi.[5]

Legacy

[edit]

WhenMahatma Gandhi started seeking help for establishment ofJamia Millia Islamia, Devdas also came forward on the call of Gandhi. He started teaching Hindi there and also cotton spinning.[6]
