Why did gandhi get thrown out of a train in south Africa?
Pietermaritzburg The Beginning of Gandhi's OdysseyGandhi had arrived in Durban, South Africa, in 1893 to serve as legal counsel to the merchant Dada Abdulla. In June, he was asked by Dada Abdulla to undertake a trip to Pretoria in the Transvaal, a journey which first took Gandhi to Pietermaritzburg. There, Gandhi was seated in the first-class compartment, since he had purchased a first-class ticket. A European who entered the compartment hastened to summon railway officials, who ordered Gandhi to remove himself to the van compartment, since 'coolies' and non-whites were apparently not permitted in first-class compartments. Gandhi protested and produced his ticket, but was warned that he would be forcibly removed if he did not make a gracious exit. As Gandhi refused to comply with the order, he was summarily pushed out of the train, and his luggage was tossed out on to the platform. The train steamed away, and Gandhi withdrew to the waiting room. "It was winter," Gandhi was to write in his autobiography, and "the cold was extremely bitter. My over-coat was in my luggage, but I did not dare to ask for it lest I should be insulted again, so I sat and shivered" (Part II, Ch. 8). He says he began to think of his "duty": ought he to stay back and fight for his "rights", or should he return to India? His own "hardship was superficial", "only a symptom of the deep disease of colour prejudice." Source: http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/southasia/History/Gandhi/Pieter.html
How did Gandhi influence Rosa Parks?
Rosa parks was forcibly removed from a bus after refusing to give up her seat to a white man. this incident is remarkably similar to when gandhi was literally thrown off a train for refusing to move back to third class when he had bought a first class ticket while living in south Africa. Indians were discriminated against in south Africa and gandhi began his political career there fighting the laws that made he discrimination possible. Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy influenced many leaders of the anti-racism movement in America.

When Mahatma Gandhi went to Africa what was the racism?
Gandhi use to travel first class when he was a lawyer. That soon changed when an Englishman objected to him sitting in the First Class Section even though Gandhi had a ticket. He got kicked off the train. Indians in South Africa were treated poorly. Indian marriages were not recognised, so therefore their wives were 'mistresses'.
