Devdas Gandhi

Devdas Gandhi (1900 - 1957) was the fourth and youngest son of Mahatma Gandhi. He was born in South Africa and returned to India with his parents as a young man. He became active in his father's movement, spending many terms in jail. He also became a prominent journalist, serving as editor of the Hindustan Times. Devdas fell in love with Lakshmi, the daughter of his father's follower Rajaji. This was controversial because the two families were of different castes, but after a long wait, they were married with Mahatma Gandhi's and Rajaji's permissions in 1933. Devdas and Lakshmi had four children, including Rajmohan Gandhi.
