Is it true that Mahatma Gandhi was thrown off a train in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in 1893?

Yes. Two reference sources state that Gandhi was thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg in 1893 after refusing to leave a first-class carriage, matching the claim. A further source confirms a Pietermaritzburg station incident in 1893 but gives a different date.
