Summary "Third Class in Indian Railways" by M. K. Gandhi is a critical social commentary written in the early 20th century. This publication provides an account of Gandhi's experiences while traveling in third-class compartments of Indian trains, highlighting the appalling conditions faced by those who cannot afford first- or second-class tickets. The book serves as a platform for addressing systemic injustices, calling for reforms and greater awareness regarding the treatment of third-class passengers in the Indian railway system. In this work, Gandhi documents his firsthand observations of overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and the general neglect experienced by third-class travelers. Through vivid descriptions, he recounts chaotic scenes of passengers packed into cramped spaces, coupled with a lack of basic amenities like cleanliness and comfortable seating. He criticizes the stark contrast in the treatment of first-class passengers compared to their third-class counterparts, emphasizing the need for dignity and respect for all travelers. Gandhi's appeal for reform extends beyond mere criticism, advocating for a collective consciousness about the rights of the marginalized and a call to action for public accountability within the transportation system.
