On this thread, upto 70s, Indian Railways seemingly had only the wooden planks as berths for second class ticket holders. Madhu Dandavate, an Indian Politician with immense integrity, who was Railways Minister then decided to add 2 inches of foam, with the rationale that a ticket purchasing passenger needs at-least this much to have a decent nights sleep. This was made compulsory in all trains in only few years. We all owe a lot to him if we ever slept comfortably in a train. He also launched computer reservations, Konkan Railways (yes, in 70s itself). Thank you Sir.
Prof.Madhu Dandavathe as Railway minister in 1977 of Janata party at the Centre., added this foam mattress in Railway wooden berth.Unfortunately his tenure also marred by much accidents.
Very true. Late madhu dandavate, professor of physics was an outstanding politician during his time. When he was the railway minister, his son would go to book railway station tickets standing in the queue with others. Such was the ethical values followed by him. When the news was read in doordarshan about his appointment as railway minister, he was washing clothes at home and came to know news thru TV.
சமீபத்தில்தான் தங்களின் இந்த வீடியோவை பார்த்தேன். மிகவும் பயனுள்ள தகவல்களை, இதுவரை கேட்டு, பார்த்தறியாத தகவல்களை மிக சுவாரசியமாக தெரிவித்துள்ளீர்கள். அதற்காக தங்களுக்கு நன்றியும், பாராட்டுதல்களும். உங்களை போன்றவர்களால்தான் "சரித்திரம்" என்ற பொருளுக்கு (subject) பெருமையும் முக்கியத்துவமும் ஏற்படுகிறது. தொடரட்டும் உங்கள் பணி. (இந்த வீடியோவில் தமிழகத்தில் முதன்முதலாக சென்னையிலிருந்து ஆற்காடு வரை ரயில் பாதை அமைக்கப்பட்டதாக சொல்லியதில் ஒரு திருத்தம். அது, சென்னையிலிருந்து முந்தைய வட ஆற்காடு மாவட்டத்தில் உள்ள வாலாஜாபேட்டை நகராட்சிக்கு அருகில் உள்ள அம்மூர் என்ற கிராமம் வரை அமைக்கப்பட்டது என்பதே சரி. ரயில் நிலையத்தின் பெயரும் "வாலாஜா ரோடு இணைப்பு" என்றே குறிப்பிடப்படுகிறது. காரணம் அங்கிருந்து சில மைல் தொலைவில் இராணிப்பேட்டை இருந்த பாரி கம்பெனி (Parry company) க்கு ரயில் விடப்பட்டது. ஆங்கிலேய பிரபுவும், ஆற்காடு நவாபும் ஆரம்பித்து வைத்தாலும், அது வாலாஜா ரோட் வரை மட்டுமே என்பதையும் சேர்த்துச்சொன்னால் மிக சரியான தகவலாக அமையும். நன்றி.)
Re-write the history books. My dad was a railway employee. @01:13 the pic which displayed is the place near by i worked and whenever i passed through that point i was intrigued by what wiould have been there and why there is a station. Since it was on the banks of Coovum i thought it was boat stops, but now got the history of the stop. yet another fascinating information by Mr.Sriram
Very interesting information. I worked for 40 years in Railways. It has grown steadily. First steam traction, second diesel and third electric traction. It has developed capacity to produce modern coaches on par with foreign countries. Those trains will stop enroute for watering steam engines. Trains will stop for longer duration in the nominated meals stations. There used to be an Inter class. Railways have work force of 13 lakh employees. Railways have their own departments like Enginnering,Mechanical, Electrical, Signal and Telecommunication. They don't depend on outside agencies. Now Govt is planning to outsource many activities. Gandhiji used to travel in 3rd class only. When someone asked why he travels he replied"because there is no 4th class"!

Like many people who are in late seventies, I too had driven in car and boarded train in Egmore railway station. It never used to be crowded. A similar facility was available in Howrah railway station too and one can drive away in your car after alighting from the train. I think this facility still exists there.. not sure of it!

Sir, first of all thank you for making such an amazing effort to educate people about the real history. I have watched almost every video of your's i must say we are really lucky to have you to teqch us and we need more people like you to educate today's young generation . My request for videos is that if you could make videos for every area with its naming reasons and it's regional specialites. Since you have mentioned about Nammperumal chettiyars name whos from my area Chetpet , Harrington road . I have heard many great things about him , but I would like to know in detail about Chetpet , Harrington road , other historical information and obviously about Namperumal Chettiar in detail. Thanks again sir , I wish you a long and healthy life .

As long as we stick to ncert syllabus we will learn history only from north Indian perspective. I still remember the drive in platform . We used to go in rickshaws and directly board the quilon mail . There used to be a level crossing at the end of egmore station to go to PF3
Do not worry Sir , ..... Now that the Anti Indian , Dravidian , Anti Hindu , Non Patriotic Party has come to power , ..... We can read a lot of New History , and All that we want our children to know , ..... From the South Indian Perspective , From the view of the Divisive Forces that acted , and are Still Acting AGAINST our Indian Sovereignty !!! We can be Assured that our Children Will Never Even Hear " JAI HIND " , ..... The Dirty , Patriotic South Indian Slogan , ........ That the Silly Soldiers " Shout " , when they are DEFENDING Our North Indian Borders ..... !!!
Sir,.Before independence, Railway's had First, Second, Intermediate and Third classes for travel. F.M.Sam Manackshaw and Gen.K.Sunderji have recorded in lecture & book.Thank you Sir.

Being a Railway man's daughter,it made me feel proud of its rich heritage!
