Answer 1

Answer:

wo incidents – one in 1893 in South Africa, the second in 1956 in USA – that changed the course history of civil rights movement for human rights in the world are, (1) the eviction of Mohandas Gandhi from the train at Petermaritzburg in South Africa for having dared to travel in a first-class compartment, and (2) Mrs. Rosa Parks’ stout refusal to vacate a seat she had occupied in a public bus in Montgomery in Alabama, USA and her readiness to be fined for this ‘crime’ she had committed. Strangely, few human rights activists and champions of civil rights have cared to study the enormous impact of these two identical incidents during the course of humanity’s march to ensure equal civil rights to citizens and the strong urge of human spirit to rise in revolt when basic rights or freedom are violated or denied. A quick glance at these two incidents will reveal amazing similarity of nonviolent assertion of the individual’s right to life and of equality and the inalienable right of human beings not to be segregated on the basis of one’s colour of race.

Besides the train incident which offered Gandhi a fore-taste of what awaited him in South India, there were a series of incidents which unmasked the dehumanizing face of untouchability, as practiced by the white rulers in South Africa. The first shock was in the court when he was asked to take off his turban. Shortly thereafter he was sent out to work in a neighbouring area, the Transvaal. A coloured man traveling first class in Transvaal in 1893 was a crime and Gandhi, the young barrister, was asked to move to lower class. Gandhi said, “I was permitted to travel in this compartment at Durban, and I insist on going on in it.”
