On which of the following railway stations of South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi was thrown out of the train?

Johannesburg
Pietermaritzburg
Durban
Pretoria

The correct answer is (b), Pietermaritzburg.

Mahatma Gandhi was thrown out of a train in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, on June 7, 1893. He was traveling from Durban to Pretoria to take up a job as a lawyer. When he refused to give up his seat in the first-class carriage to a white man, he was thrown off the train at Pietermaritzburg station. This incident sparked Gandhi’s lifelong commitment to non-violent protest against racial discrimination.

The other options are incorrect. Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa. Durban is a port city on the east coast of South Africa. Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa.
