The Gandhi Statue in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, is a bronze sculpture commemorating Mahatma Gandhi's ejection from a train in 1893, an event that profoundly influenced his philosophy of nonviolent resistance. The statue, unveiled in 1993, depicts the young Gandhi in a dhoti, holding a walking stick, and gazes determinedly ahead. It stands opposite the old colonial buildings on Church Street, a reminder of the racial injustice Gandhi experienced and his lifelong struggle for equality and justice.
