Student life of Mohan was divided into two periods, one was the preliminary schooling that he did in Rajkot in elementary schools and he was a very mediocre student at that time. The fact is that after doing indian matric, he decided to join Shamaldas College in Bhavnagar and that was his first experience with education in english medium and Mohan actually dropped out of college and ran back home saying that he was incapable of completing his college education so he gave it up and came back from Shamaldas College in Bhavnagar. He had a desire to become a doctor so he decided that he will pursue medical studies which  was rejected by his family. They did not want him to work on dead bodies, blood, flesh, etc. and so they dissuaded him from that and then one of his father's friend suggested  that he should take legal studies because if he would to carry the legacy of his father and grandfather and aspire to become the prime minister of a princely state then because of the changing times, he would have to learn english and the english system of administration and so if he was a british qualified lawyer so he would be the most suitable to pursue that career so finally it was suggested that he will be sent to abroad to study but then they were hit by a social taboo because the Vaishyas believed that it was a sin to go across the seas. So the community threatened a social boycott if Mohan went abroad then Mohan said that this is my life and my decisions and my mother is supporting me so I am going so he went to England. What I feel is the impact of  that education on the world today is a fact that opened up on the perspective of this young man who till then was from a very small town and orthodox Indian community, the entire exposure was restricted to that family, to that town and that community and when he went to England that is when he first experienced society and life outside that restricted area and that is what is the most important thing that we really benefit when we expand our horizon and gain experience in that expanded vision because we have to realise that there is a whole world beyond what we are capable of comprehending and only those who start identifying the world achieve greater things and that is the startling transformation of the young Mohan into Mohandas Gandhi and then into barrister Mohandas Gandhi.
