"Jamshedji Kanga adviced me to join Kharshedji Bhabha's chambers. That was the soundest advice."

"My father did a very wise thing... he did very many wise things but one of them was sending my brother and I to St. Mary's High School", said Iqbal Chagla, remembering his school days. "It was a very democratic school. It did not matter what background you came from or who your father was. Everyone came to school in the school bus. You could never arrive in a car, and if you did, you were dead mutton."
Later, after spending two years at St. Xavier's, Iqbal Chagla went to Cambridge, where he attended King's College to read history and law. He was 18 when he went to Cambridge. "It made you mature very quickly", he said about the experience.
After completing his education at Cambridge, Iqbal Chagla returned to India. His father, M.C.Chagla, asked him to meet Jameshdji Kanga who was the doyen of the Bombay bar at that time. Since Jamshedji wasn't taking any juniors, he suggested that Chagla meet Kharsedji Bhabha. "That was the soundest advice I could ever have received," said Iqbal Chagla. "Bhabha's chambers were memorable from the point of view of the people who were there". Fali Nariman, Soli Sorabjee and Jehangoo Khambatta who went on to become the Managing Director of Glaxo, were there. "Fali was the only one who had a table, being his first junior."
About Kharshedji Bhabha, Iqbal Chagla said that he was a man of immense industry and a great, hard, task master, "which made things very, very good if you look back in retrospect".
