À propos de cet audio

Third Class in Indian Railways" by Mahatma Gandhi is a critical examination of the deplorable conditions faced by third-class passengers on Indian trains. Written after Gandhi's return from South Africa, where he spent considerable time travelling third class by choice, the essay provides a firsthand account of the overcrowded, unsanitary, and uncomfortable conditions that these passengers endured. Gandhi describes how the carriages were often packed beyond capacity, with inadequate seating, no sleeping arrangements, and railway officials contributing to the chaos by forcing more passengers into already crowded compartments. Through his observations, Gandhi advocates for a reform in the railway system, urging both the public and the press to join him in addressing these grievances. He highlights that while many of the issues could be easily resolved, they remain unaddressed due to negligence. This essay is not only a critique of the Indian railway system but also a reflection of Gandhi's broader concerns about social justice and equality. It remains a significant work, offering insights into the early 20th-century conditions of travel in India and Gandhi's commitment to improving the lives of the marginalised. Tune in to Audio Pitara to listen to all episodes of this thought-provoking series and explore Gandhi's powerful insights into the challenges faced by the common man.
