Description

"Third Class in Indian Railways" by Mahatma Gandhi is a poignant essay that illuminates the harsh realities faced by third-class passengers in India's railway system. Drawing from his own experiences, Gandhi vividly describes the overcrowded, unsanitary conditions endured by the poorest travellers. Through this powerful critique, he highlights broader societal inequalities and advocates for reforms. The essay showcases Gandhi's commitment to social justice, compassion, and the upliftment of the marginalized.

Author

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948), known worldwide as Mahatma Gandhi, was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial leader, and advocate of nonviolent resistance. He led the campaign for India's independence from British rule and inspired civil-rights movements across the world. His writings on self-reliance, health, and public life reflect the same moral discipline as his political work.
