The correct option is D Pietermaritzburg
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->
Gandhi was once travelling from Durban to Pretoria via railways. That journey took a turn for the worse at the Pietermaritzburg station, when he was thrown out of the first class compartment for being an Indian. The compartment was reserved for “white only” and the Britishers in South Africa considered Gandhi to be a coolie, i.e labourer.
