He has to struggle to move to London

Mohandas managed to pass the University of Bombay's (now University of Mumbai's) matriculation test in 1887 and enrolled in Samaldas College in Bhavnagar (Bhatnagar). He had to immediately switch from Gujarati to English, making it challenging for him to understand the lessons.

His family was discussing his future in the meanwhile. If left to his own devices, he would have preferred to become a doctor. But aside from the Vaishnava prejudice against vivisection, it was obvious that he would need to become a barrister if he wanted to continue the family history of holding high office in one of the Gujarati states. Mahatma Gandhi, who wasn't having much fun at Samaldas College, leaped at the chance to travel to England. His impression of England as a young boy was that it was "a land of thinkers and poets, the very center of civilization."

But before the trip to England could happen, there were several obstacles to be overcome. Additionally, his mother was hesitant to subject her youngest kid to unknown temptations and hazards in a foreign country because his father had left the family with little property. But Mohandas was adamant about going to England. One of his brothers raised the required funds, and his mother's concerns were allayed when he swore off booze, women, and meat while away from home. The final barrier, a directive from the Modh Bania subcaste (Vaishya caste), to which the Gandhis belonged and which barred travel to England as a violation of Hinduism, was disobeyed by Mohandas, who traveled in September 1888. He joined the Inner Temple, one of the four London law institutions, ten days after his arrival (The Temple).
