Gandhi's mother was illiterate, but her devotion to her religion and her use of common sense had a lasting impact on Gandhi’s character. At school, Gandhi was a good student, but he was very shy and displayed no signs of leadership. Later in 1885, when his father passed away, Gandhi travelled to England to gain a degree in law.
While in England, Gandhi was asked to translate a copy of the Bahagavad Gita, which is a 700-verse Holy Book written in Sanskrit. Gandhi also discovered the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Gandhi was awed by the emphasis that Christ placed on empathy and forgiveness. Gandhi was also influenced by the Jain religion, because of it's focus on ahimsa, or nonviolence. ]]> 2023-02-13 13:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/noceradavide648/ecekak89oos0iwjl/wish/2479364365 noceradavide648 https://padlet.com/noceradavide648/ecekak89oos0iwjl/wish/2479364391 He taught others how to protest in a peaceful and nonviolent way.

As he himself would have stated, it was an indelible evening in his memory.
At the age of fifteen he managed to pass the entrance exam to the Atlanta Baptist College, a college for blacks in Atlanta later renamed Morehouse College, previously attended by his father and his grandfather - formally without having completed his previous studies - where he graduated in sociology in June 1948.
