Here’s one of the best videos on Indian Railways we have come across in a long time. It’s a few years old but captures the essence of Indian life and the vital role of the railways - starts with the Mumbai Local Trains, and then covers south India and concludes in Chennai. You get to hear the views of the passengers, train drivers, and the also the people working in the railway station. The scenes from Mumbai Metro are so real-life that you can feel as if you are travelling in it, say from Malad to Mahalakshmi!The video also tells a tragic story of Kamakshi, a station helper whose husband committed suicide when he did not get promoted from the Coalman to Driver in his Steam Locomotive…really sad. But the video ends on a positive note though with an older couple getting a good taxi cab at Chennai. In all, a great video on life in India.
