Question

Which institute did Gandhiji join during his stay in england

Answer 1

During his stay in England, Gandhiji joined the London Vegetarian Society. He began attending its meetings regulary. He even took the initiative to start a branch of the society in the area where he lived.

The basis for becoming fascinated towards vegetarianism was the book Plea for Vegetarianism written by Henry Salt while dining in a vegetarian restaurant in London. Although he was a vegetarian by tradition and custom until then, the book made Gandhiji a vegetarian by choice. It also pursued him to look up for more interesting aspects regarding vegetarianism that eventually led him to the London Vegetarian Society.
