The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 2, Chapter 4 Summary

The First Shock

  • In Rajkot, Gandhi drafts applications and memorials for his brother's poor clients.
  • His brother has some trouble with a British officer whom Gandhi knew in England, so the brother asks our hero to go to the officer and put in a good word.
  • Gandhi feels it is wrong to do so because he barely knew this officer guy in England, but he does so to help his brother anyway.
  • The officer throws him out. From this experience, Gandhi learns not to abuse an acquaintance.
