註釋When Gandhi set sail for London to become a barrister, he brought along with his ambitions a promise he had made to his mother: he would not touch a strange woman, drink wine or eat meat. However, no one could have predicted that while keeping up with his promise, Gandhi would gain perspective on vegetarianism in a city like London. Until Gandhi read Henry Salt's Plea for Vegetarianism, he had been a vegetarian as per customs and traditions. From the moment he read Salt's work, he became a vegetarian by choice and even joined the London Vegetarian Society, which would end up providing him with his first exposure to collective social action and also become his first political platform. Gandhi: A Vegetarian in London by Ramachandra Guha provides a fascinating insight into the man Mohandas Gandhi was shaping up to be.
