Hello Ayesha

Gandhiji had decided to take lessons in elocution to become an English gentleman and he was told to get Bell's Standard Elocutionist as the text-book. But as he started reading the book he understood that he was chasing a false ideal He realised that he was in england to study and all the things that he was getting himself engaged in instead were nothing to do with studies but to fit it in the english society why he was not going to be forever.It became clear to him that he should rather be a man of Character.

Hope it helps!!!
