Monsoon Railway--2

[@derekgoldsmith7783]

these documentaries are a wonderful way to revisit old journeys and to see how things have changed and haven't changed, too. so enjoyable.

[@dingdongs5208]

You can say that India is a poor and terribly mismanaged country, but the people within fight tooth and nail to help each other....look at the railway staff helping those orphaned kids, volunteering in and organizing charity organizations, taking time out AFTER WORK to coach the kids on boxing. Its really moving, say what you want about the Country and its governance, the people are doing all they can!

[@ThePhilhw]

Lovely documentary. Great people and hope Steve D'Cruz makes a good recovery. This kind of doc. is television at it's best.

[@mjc11a]

Excellent two-part series! Thanks for posting.

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

A splendid and very musical documentary. Both the dreamy rain scenes, the way it is speaked, and the beautiful musical background music makes the documentary one of the best I have seen. I bet it must have won some prizes?

[@whoopiist]

I have NEVER heard of or seen such an organised Railway Service.......WoW!!..... I am SOOOO impressed with how everyone works together, and is absolutely proud of it...... B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!

Excellent Documentary by BBC. Its true that India is enriched land of Gods, and the "NOOR and Light of their believes, diversified culture and lifestyles ensured and illuminated the "PEACE and SALAMTI" in the whole. India is enriched in governing with the colors of the genuine and true tranquility and serenity among different believes, cultures and lifestyles.

Certainly we don’t have posh railway stations like grand station but we have good grand people who help each other. May be our country is not rich but our people’s Hart is rich with compassion and love. This is what Indian civilisation and Bengali culture is known for.

[@amitaspoetry384]

Yes Bengali culture is wonderful but the compassion and heart also run through out our country and the magic of our railway life a treasure to keep in our hearts.

[@mohann2289]

Unfortunately most of us leaning towards west

[@ShaolinCheems]

What is it with you people's incessant romance with the British and everything belonging to them? So much so that you look down upon your own country and spit on your own people? How much have you toured Bharat to be making these ignorant and generalised statements? Just because your state's Commie governments have looted and plundered your lands and your elite class has supported such pillaging doesn't mean that the rest of our country is like you guys. Gosh! STOP it with endless stories of your "kalchar and praayd" already. You people aren't the only ones blessed with those. Look around and wake up from your Victorian dream.

[@amitaspoetry384]

This is a beautiful video. Well written and presented. 🙏🏾Please bring on more. More about monsoons in other cities and other railway lines.

Most of the music is by a 1980s group called "West India Company." However, I've failed to find the specific tracks in this documentary so am starting to think these were all commissioned specifically for it. It's a shame because the ambient tracks in particular are absolutely superb.
