Gandhi commits his first act of civil disobedience

On June 7, 1893, Mohandas Gandhi committed his first act of civil disobedience in South Africa. Because he was an Indian, Gandhi was ordered to move to the third class section of a train, despite holding a first-class ticket. When he refused, Gandhi was thrown off of the train. Gandhi would go on to organize efforts by Indians living in South Africa to oppose racial discrimination thereby founding the Natal Indian Congress. He would then return to his native India to lead its drive for independence from Great Britain. Learn more about the Natal Indian Congress from the South African History Archive.
