He was married to Nirmala Gandhi, and they had three children, including [[Kanu Gandhi (scientist)\|Kanu Gandhi]] and [[Sumitra Kulkarni]].

			Raised in South Africa on one of his father's ashram-farms, Ramdas would, as an adult, tend to deprecate the idealistic poverty imposed by his father on all his associates. He had no taste for [[asceticism]] and considered that his father's lifestyle was nothing more than a personal fetish which caused inconvenience to others, including the Gandhi family.

			Nevertheless, he was a passionate nationalist and freedom fighter, and an active participant in the grueling [[Civil Rights\|civil protests]] of the 1930s which his father led. He was imprisoned numerous times by the British, and these prolonged stints in jail had serious effects on his health.<ref>{{Cite web\|last1=Posted by Prof. Dr. Yogendra Yadav on June 20\|first1=2012 at 4:39am\|last2=Blog\|first2=View\|title=Mahatma Gandhi and his son Ramdas-II\|url=http://gandhiking.ning.com/profiles/blogs/mahatma-gandhi-and-his-son-ramdas-ii-1\|access-date=2021-04-25\|website=gandhiking.ning.com\|language=en}}</ref>
