Yes, Jimmy sir, compare these carriages to the ones today. We have Sardine tin cans today. In a way I feel that things were better under the British.

Not to mention the cleanliness all around. Cleanliness is something the IR fails to accomplish quite consistently.

Look at the three British gentlemen by the loco. They look so trim and disciplined. The British rule also I guess was very disciplined unlike the hopeless governments we see today in India.
As I always say, India would have been better off under the British.

Ramdev, each situation has its own pros and cons. It is better to take the best of both sides and try to work out a solution to all problems. An ideal situation would be to be an independent nation with standards of cleanliness, hygiene, efficiency superior to any in the world. The British gave IR birth, but the upbringing was by Indians.
