Third Class in Indian Railways

1. Read through once, note the specific details about sanitation, fares, and management, then revisit how the author moves from facts to principles.
2. After reading, look up the class system of Indian railways at the time of writing to help understand the institutional logic behind third-class treatment.
3. Read alongside Gandhi's other short social observations and note his sense of proportion in handling fact and commentary.
4. The English original is short and suitable for close reading: choose a passage and analyze sentence by sentence how its restrained tone conveys criticism.
