Question

Answer 1

Mohandas Gandhi, then a young, unknown Indian lawyer in transit to Pretoria, was made to feel the full weight of the colony’s “colour prejudice”. As the possessor of a first-class railway ticket, he had had to be escorted off his train by a constable when he refused to remove to third class.

Answer 2

Answer:

There was Racism in South African during the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

Explanation:

The Mahatama Gandhi is well known personality around the world who not only tried to abolish Racism in South Africa but started national movements in India to get freedom. Gandhi Ji went to study in South Africa at the age of 24 and he moved ahead towards his Satyagrah. As we know that South Africa faced lots of Racism throughout eras, but when Gandhi Ji entered South Africa he realised not even discrimination against Black Africans but discrimination against within government posts. When Gandhi heard that there was no coloured attorney in South Africa, he puzzled because there is discrimination on the land of Africa but within government which shocked Gandhi Ji.
