Putlibai Karamchand Gandhi (1844 — 12 June 1891) was the mother of Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi and the youngest wife of the former Rajkot Dewan Karamchand Gandhi. She was a devout practitioner of Hinduism[3] by whom Mahatma Gandhi was schooled about his religion. She came from a village called Dantrana of the then-Junagadh State. She was twenty-two years younger[4] than Karamchand who she had married after his first two wives had died early and the third was rendered childless. Mohandas was her youngest son, who she affectionately called Monia. Mahatma Gandhi wrote extensively about his mother and her conditions[5][6] to him leaving for England to pursue Barrister in his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth.
