You've made some pretty strange conclusions here.

Non-AC trains have always been more about affordability for the masses. It's a basic price differentiation strategy and has always been a business decision with very little do with caste or class.

We're still a $3k GDP per capita economy, In the foreseeable future and in the next few decades, all trains will eventually become AC as India gets richer and the prices of manufacturing AC coaches comes down.

I've seen this affordability thing thrown around but haven't seen raw numbers. What is the price to operate an AC train that runs on electricity vs a non-AC train that also runs on electricity? And again, since this was missed, I am telling you about the perception of India in the West.

They tried replacing non AC coaches with AC coaches on LHBfied trains (because it made business sense; IR makes good money out of AC coaches). The result was for us all to see. They have started adding non AC coaches since. And it is not possible to subsidize AC coaches (to make it 'affordable' for the poorest) given IR's finances. We can, however, provide affordable short distance commutes with AC coaches and that is what the Ministry is aiming to do.

Ignore bad faith arguments.

I'd prefer to ignore people with poor reading comprehension, poor intellect, and poor reasoning abilities than "bad faith arguments". In fact, I'd argue that somebody that qualifies with the above three is operating in worse faith than anybody else.

Edit: By the way, since you are pushing me and starting to irritate me, the hygiene standards on even the most expensive AC train in India are extremely poor. I literally saw poop floating in a toilet on a Vande Bharat. The flush was broken.

I've struck a nerve with an insolent person. Not hard to do for a sub-50 IQ person!

Oh, no! I have been called a sub 50 IQ person by user @londonparistokyo (he/she is obsessed with IQ anyway)! What do I do, now?

I think I will blame da joos!

EDIT: @mods move this post to chit chat thread, if needed.

You are genuinely an embarrassing person. I feel ashamed sharing the same ethnicity as you.

If you think abstractly, it will make sense. But I'll make it make sense to you:

AC is what's expected in the US no matter what background you come from. If you're taking a train, whether it's a subway, Amtrak (which is ~ Vande Bharat), local train, whatever, the basic expectation is it will be AC. In India, the perception here is that "low caste" people are treated differently than "high caste" people. It doesn't matter that there's poor "low caste" and poor "high caste", and rich "high caste" and rich "low caste." The perception here is that everybody poor is low caste. The basic expectation we have is that everybody will get AC. For India to make AC a class thing simply perpetuates this idea that your birth determines your social status

This is your perception which is you are generalising.

People say....

"AC me Badha admi baithta hai"
"Hawaijahaj me badha admi jata hai"
"5 Star hotel me bada aadmi khana khata hai"

None of us ever heard only Brahman and Thakur travel in AC, fly in Jets and eat in 5 star hotels.

5 Star hotels and Mall refuse to give entry if you are not dressed western clothes. Never heard they denied entry on caste.

There is Zero evidence of caste based discrimination but still you manage to show us caste discrimination in Railway class.

America is a rich country they can easily afford AC in trains. We are still catching up.

Why you chose AC as parameter to show caste discrimination india, why not Lamborghini, Farari cars or jets or Yacht as a criteria of discrimination??

You are a shallow person who is quick to give isolated incident to prove your futile point.

What were you expecting in the commod?? Rasmalai?? Gulab jamun??

Instead of accepting your mistake you are asking others to introspect??

Accept you made false equivalent of castism in Indian railways class system. We all know we have caste issues here so What new things are you telling us?

 

[Vishnugupt]

yet when you beg for technology or complain that the white man is responsible for 100% of the issues despite our glorious past,

Hahaha.... Tell me which Hindu blamed your master for our failure?? We are not mullah or C#**mar. We do not blame others for our failure. We do introspect for our failure rather than playing victim card.

Neither India is not begging for technology. If we ask for technology in exchange money or market access.

You have proved my point. You are just a brown Sipoy who only good abusing india and it's culture.
