The correct answer is :

Maritzburg station was the place in South Africa, where Gandhiji had to face racism. At that time racism was in full swing in South Africa.
At that time, South African Indians or black people were not allowed to travel in the first class compartment of the train. Only Englishmen or Europeans could travel in the first class compartment.
Gandhiji took a first class ticket to travel once and sat in the first class compartment. There the train officer ordered him to go to the ordinary class. Gandhiji refused and said that he had a first class ticket. Then the officer called a constable and dropped Gandhiji ji from the train with his luggage.
The station was Maritzburg where Gandhi was dropped from the train
