On 07 June 1893, a significant event in the life of Mahatma Gandhi took place. While traveling by train in South Africa, Gandhi was subjected to racial discrimination. Despite holding a first-class ticket, he was forcibly removed from the first-class compartment at the Pietermaritzburg station because of his race. This incident marked a pivotal moment in Gandhi's life, igniting his resolve to fight against racial injustice and laying the foundation for his future activism. It was this experience that catalyzed his development of the philosophy of Satyagraha, or nonviolent resistance, which would later play a crucial role in the Indian independence movement.
