Dear Vijay,
Following are Mahatma Gandhi's family details:
Harilal Gandhi (1888-1948)
Harilal rebelled most strongly. He renounced all family ties in 1911 and embarked upon a tragic, lifelong path of self-destruction. He became a Muslim convert, an alcoholic, and an embezzler; accounts of his arrests, public drunkenness, and destitution became commonplace. "I was a slave of my passions when Harilal was conceived," said Mohandas. Harilal appeared at his father's funeral in such a derelict condition that few recognized him. He died in a tuberculosis sanitarium two months later.
Manilal Gandhi (1892-1956)
Manilal was in disgrace in 1916 after he lent his elder brother some money. Mohandas sent him to South Africa, where he edited an Indian newspaper. Later, he spent a brief period in India, bitterly astonished at the Mahatma's genial, old-age mellowness.
Ramdas Gandhi (1898-1969)
Ramdas had no taste for asceticism, yet participated in the grueling civil protests of the 1930s. Numerous jailings wrecked his health. Born and raised in South Africa, he never adjusted to the idealistic poverty imposed by his father.
Devadas Gandhi (1900-1957)
Mohandas acted as midwife at the delivery of his youngest son, Devadas. Alone of all the sons, Devadas stayed near his father, sometimes being granted the privilege of serving as his secretary.
In 1976, Gandhi's direct descendants numbered 47 in five nations. According to Ved Mehta, author of "Mahatma Gandhi and His Apostles," they "do everything from selling life insurance to working in space engineering; one is a Moral Re-Armament evangelist." Deposed Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is no relation.
Regards.
