Explanation:
Though Gandhi completed his barrister in London, he had been battling to land a work in india,both in Bombay and in his hometown porbandar in Gujarat so this problem continued to elude him for almost one year . One day he got a call from Abdulla who was his family friend staying in SA needed a lawyer who knows Gujarati because Abdulla had a dispute with his cousin about some land issue.
