When his train came to a stop, Gandhi, a young barrister, is ordered by the conductor to move from the first-class carriage (reserved for white passengers) where he was sitting, to the van compartment for lower-class travelers.
When Gandhi refused, showing the conductor his first-class ticket, he was evicted unceremoniously from the train.
Gandhi was on his way from Durban to Pretoria on behalf of his client, a merchant named Dada Abdulla.
