From England to South Africa to India and back to Africa, then back to India...(Entry # 4)

After Mr. Gandhi graduated from his London college and ended his final studies of Law. He was sent to South Africa as a lawyer, but his career was soon interrupted by the Boer War, where he was sent to fight for England against the Boer settlements near the English colony of South Africa. He was a medic with no medical education...

At the end of the war, he returned to India for 5 months to see his wife and children, and later returned to Africa with them to work for the English government in South Africa. Again his career wouldn't be successful in South Africa. The Zulu population of the colony began to grow violent against England and its subjects, like the Indian population in Africa... So for his safety and that of his family, he had to return to India and work of the English-Indian government of India...
