India is going to celebrate Gandhi's birth anniversary on 2 October. Once upon a time, the Pietermaritzburg railway station in South Africa seems to have passed. The empty platform, a 19th-century Victorian-style red-brick building, rusty jaalis and a wooden ticket window, all seem very old. Looking at this modest station, it does not seem that an incident happened here which changed the history of slavery from the British of India.

On this special occasion we are going to tell you about this sentence, yes, at this place, the British conductor of the train asked Gandhi to go to the lower class passengers box, when Gandhi showed the conductor his first class ticket, Even then, he did not agree and forced Mohandas Gandhi to forcefully remove him from the train. A plank on the platform of Pietermaritzburg tells the exact place where Gandhi was pushed from the train. It is written on the plank that, 'That incident changed the course of Mahatma Gandhi's life. Mahatma Gandhi spent that cold night in the waiting room in Pietermaritzburg, where there was no arrangement to escape the heat. Referring to this incident, Gandhi wrote in his autobiography, 'My Experiments with Truth', that 'I also had my overcoat in my chest. But I did not ask for my overcoat for fear that I might be dishonored again. Mahatma Gandhi went to South Africa from Bombay in 1893 to advocate. He had a one-year deal with a company of Indian origin businessman living in South Africa. This company was present in the Transvaal area.

For your information, let me tell you that efore the journey to Pretoria, another incident happened with Gandhi in Durban. When the judge asked him to take off the turban in a court, he came out of the court.
