Third class in Indian railways

"Third Class in Indian Railways" by M. K. Gandhi is a powerful observation of social inequality during the author's travels on Indian trains in the early 1900s. It tells of the terrible situations that awaited those in third-class train compartments. The narrative shares personal accounts with impactful details of packed cars, unclean surroundings, and a lack of basic comforts. The author's journey through the railway becomes symbolic of his greater mission, shedding light on the great needs for change and justice within India's transportation. He contrasts this with the luxury of first-class travelers and brings attention to the mistreatment of third-class passengers. Gandhi's writing goes beyond just pointing out problems; it urges people to recognize the rights of those who are often ignored and demands that the railway system be held responsible.
