The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 2, Chapter 5 Summary

Preparing for South Africa

  • The meanie officer from the last chapter has influence over the court where Gandhi would practice, so the young lawyer worries he won't be able to work.
  • Another officer he has to deal with is similarly arrogant and unhelpful. The place is corrupt, and he can't find any work.
  • But, a firm in South Africa makes an offer for Gandhi to come work for them, possibly for a certain big case. Even though the pay is low, Gandhi is eager to see a new country and decides to go.
