why did Gandhiji eventually give up his ambition?
Hello,
After reading Bell's Standard Elocutionist, Gandhi ji realised that he was pursuing a false ideal because he was not going to spend his lifetime in England. So, it was useless to learn elocution and dancing.
He realised that he was a student and should go on with his studies to qualify himself to join the inns of court. He declared that a character could make him a true gentleman otherwise he should forget the ambition.
Thus, Gandhi ji eventually gave up.
Hope it helps.
Good Luck!
