- It was a wet, windy day on Pietermaritzburg’s railway platform, located an hour from South Africa’s port city of Durban.
- The 19th-Century, Victorian-style red brick station, with a corrugated iron roof, lace filigree and wooden ticket windows, was quiet.
- I pulled my coat closer around me and imagined how it would have felt to have stood here on one fateful night more than a century ago.
- On 7 June 1893, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, then a young barrister, was on his way from Durban to Pretoria on behalf of his client, a merchant named Dada Abdulla.
- When the train came to a stop in Pietermaritzburg, Gandhi was ordered by the conductor to move from the first-class carriage (reserved for white passengers) where he was sitting, to the van compartment for lower-class travellers.
- When Gandhi refused, showing the conductor his first-class ticket, he was evicted unceremoniously from the train.
- This incident changed the course of his life
