Answer 2

Gandhi Adaptation to Western culture

Explanation:

• Gandhi took his studies seriously and tried to brush abreast of his English and Latin by taking the University of London matriculation examination.
• Gandhiji concenterated on moral values than academics during the England stay. The transition from the half-rural atmosphere of Rajkot to the cosmopolitan lifetime of London wasn't easy for him.
• He hardly struggled and made awful adjustments to adapt to the western side. His vegetarianism became a continuous source of embarrassment to him; his friends warned him that it'd wreck his studies similarly as his health.
• Fortunately for him he found a vegetarian restaurant moreover as a book providing a reasoned defense of vegetarianism, which henceforth became a matter of conviction for him, not merely a legacy of his Vaishnava background.
• The missionary zeal he developed for vegetarianism helped to draw the pitifully shy youth out of his shell and gave him a replacement poise.
• He became a member of the chief committee of the London Vegetarian Society, attending its conferences and contributing articles to its journal.
