Pietermaritzburg railway station, South Africa

Explanation:

  • It was in the at Pietermaritzburg  station, situated in South Africa’s port city of Durban,  where a young lawyer named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was forcibly pushed out of the first-class compartment that he was travelling  from Durban to Pretoria on behalf of his client,.This incident  prompted Gandhi to think about racial & colour discrimination and it was here where he decided to fight against racial oppression.   The undescribed, inactive station in South Africa is now recognised around the world as the 'Satyagraha Birthplace.'
  • Gandhi refused to go ahead with bigotry after the Pietermaritzburg incident, instead preferring to peacefully protest oppressive laws, to organise protests and marches in order to counteract biased voting regulations and intolerable conditions of work. While remaining in South Africa, Gandhi felt that he could study and successfully fight the true existence of racial injustice. The idea of satyagraha originated from this. Satyagraha uses non-violent methods to win over the spirit of the opposition group and establish a new peace for the two sides of a dispute.

On 7 June 1893, Mahatama Gandhi was ejected by force from a whites-only carriage on a train in Pietermaritzburg.He had flaunted the laws that segregated each carriage according to race. He was practising as a young Indian lawyer in South Africa during that time, and this event proved a remarkable influence on the future of his political life. The event was later to have a significant impact on his life later on.
