Mahatma Gandhi, born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Gujarat, hailed from a family with a notable lineage. Here's an overview of his family tree:

First Generation:

 

  • Uttamchand Gandhi: Gandhi's great-grandfather, served as the Diwan (Chief Minister) of Porbandar.
  • Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi (1822–1885): Gandhi's father, also held the position of Diwan in Porbandar and later in Rajkot.
  • Putlibai Gandhi (1844–1891): Gandhi's mother, known for her devout and pious nature.

Second Generation:

 

  • Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948): Renowned leader of the Indian independence movement, revered as the "Father of the Nation."
  • Kasturba Gandhi (née Kasturbai Makhanji Kapadia) (1869–1944): Gandhi's wife, married in 1883 through an arranged marriage when both were 13 years old.

Third Generation (Children of Mohandas and Kasturba Gandhi):

 

  • Harilal Gandhi (1888–1948): Their eldest son.
  • Manilal Gandhi (1892–1956): Second son, continued his father's legacy in South Africa.
  • Ramdas Gandhi (1897–1969): Third son.
  • Devdas Gandhi (1900–1957): Youngest son, involved in journalism and politics.

Fourth Generation (Selected Grandchildren):

 

  • Arun Manilal Gandhi (born 1934): Son of Manilal, a socio-political activist and author.
  • Rajmohan Gandhi (born 1935): Son of Devdas, an academic, biographer, and politician.
  • Gopalkrishna Gandhi (born 1945): Son of Devdas, former diplomat and Governor of West Bengal.
  • Tushar Gandhi (born 1960): Great-grandson through Manilal, involved in social activism.

It's important to note that the Nehru-Gandhi family, prominent in Indian politics, is not biologically related to Mahatma Gandhi's lineage. The shared surname "Gandhi" in their case originates from Feroze Gandhi, who married Indira Nehru.
