why is gandhi confused that he can’t stay on the train?
This refers to the 1893 incident in South Africa. Gandhi had purchased a first-class train ticket, and he was confused because he was being forcibly removed despite having a valid ticket, as racial segregation laws in South Africa at the time restricted non-white people from first-class compartments, a policy he had not anticipated would be enforced so harshly against him as an educated, formally ticketed passenger.
