The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 2, Chapter 7 Summary

Some Experiences

  • Abdulla Sheth from the firm meets Gandhi in South Africa but doesn't know if he can trust the new arrival. They have good conversations about religion, and Sheth takes Gandhi to the court.
  • At the court, Gandhi is instructed to remove his turban. He refuses to do so and writes to the press about it, defending himself.
  • Here's the deal with that: classes are divided up something serious in South Africa, with different religions, ethnicities, and workers forming different groups.
  • Gandhi wearing the turban marks him as resistant to the stratification of people.
