OURS IS THE MOST UNFORTUNATE COUNTRY I SHOULD SAY, WITH MORE THAN 3/4 OF OUR COUNTRIES POPULATION BEING OF MIDDLE CLASS AND ALL THAT MAJORITY OF PEOPLE USING COMMONG MODES OF TRANSPORTATION LIKE TRAINS OR BUSES, ALL THESE DAYS I HAVE BEEN SEEING PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT AIROPORTS ONLY.
SOME DAYS EARLIER IT WAS STORY OF HYDERABAD AIRPORT, JUST AT THAT TIME I ALSO FOUND HERE SOME STORY RELEASED ABOUT MANY OTHER AIRPORTS IN INDIA WITH THEIR PICTURES, THEN THERE CAME STORY OF 'TOP 10 AIRPORTS OF WORLD' AND SO ON...., BUT WITH THE GREATEST APATHY I HAVE TO SAY THAT EVEN TODAY, WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY CASTE AND RELIGION BASED RESERVATIONS ALL AROUND OUR SYSTEMS IN COUNTRY, WITH SO MANY LEADERS TALKING ABOUT WELFARE OF POOR PEOPLE, LOWER CASTS, MIDDLE CLASS AND ALL THAT, HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED ABSOLUTELY ANY LEADER OF INDIA, RIGHT FROM THE DAYS OF J.L.NEHRU TO CURRENT TIMES OF SONIA GANDHI, EVER DOING ANYTHING FOR WORLD CLASS RAILWAY STATIONS WITH ACTUAL WORLD CLASS FACILITIES??? OR WORLD CLASS BUS FACILITY THROUGHT INDIA FOR COMMON PEOPLE???????????????????????
ABOVE ALL THIS ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE THING IS THAT EVEN MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE THEMSELVES KEEP BOASTING ABOUT THE BEST FACILITIES AND SECURITY AVAILABLE ON AIRPORTS, BUT HAD A SINGLE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY EVER ASKED FOR GOOD FACILITITES ON TRAINS OR BUSES?????????
WHY?? THOSE WHO TRAVEL ON TRAINS AND BUSES ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS OR ARE'NT THEY INDIANS???????
POOR PEOPLE TRAVELLING IN GENERAL COMPARTMENTS OF TRAINS HAVE TO SUFF

This is bcz they r bothered about their bread and butter activities,also they dont have either the means or motivation like u and me to voice their opinion.Futher in any civil society particularly like ours,voices of only the influential and powerful a heard. we always have been like this .Most having the means to afford a car or private vehicle will very seldom go thru buses same is the case for trains vs airplanes and also the apathy of media towards the more coommon problems like the ones u pointed is responsible for the situation. i 2 m like u r very pained at the state of affirs.
