A Correct answer
Explanation

In 1893, Mohandas Gandhi was traveling by train from Durban to Pretoria in South Africa when he was forcibly removed from a first-class compartment at Pietermaritzburg station despite having a valid ticket. The incident occurred because he was a person of color in a whites-only compartment, and he was thrown off the train at Durban. This experience of racial discrimination galvanized his resolve to fight against injustice.
