He left England and his studies. He stopped eating meat. In India he started to live with his family and he began a more spiritual life. When he came to his house his brother told him that their mother was dead. They didn’t want to tell him that until he had arrived. His son was a child who walked a lot with his father and he fought a lot with his wife. She left that house. Gandhi really needed a job because he didn’t have money. One day a rich man ,from South Africa, contracted him for a trail. In the trail, the judge said that he must remove his turban. Gandhi said no and they ousted him. Gandhi travelled by train and they ousted him ,again, because ,supposedly, he couldn’t sit in that train. He got very angry. His boss told him that he should adopt English culture to have the respect of the others. Gandhi finished his work in South Africa and he returned to India. He started to work in a new company. He wanted to turn his family to a British Family but his wife and sons didn’t like it they got very angry. He needed to go from South Africa because his work changed place again. In the last night, his friends and family made a party but when he read the newspaper he got very angry. The government said that the Pndians couldn’t vote anymore, he started to work immediately. Many Indians wanted to move to South Africa because in India there weren’t rights for all the people; only british people, who lived there, had their rights. So in 1899, during the Boer War, Gandhi organized an ambulance corps of 1.100 Indian men to help the war effort. He thought of an idea.

Finally he was sent to prison. Gandhi wanted to get more right for Indian people like voting... Gandhi started to make demonstrations with other Indians. They wanted more rights for them. One day, the police caught him. He stayed in prison for a long time. Gandhi walked in a salt march for spreading a peaceful message. After a lot of years he went out.
