Okhil Babu's Letter to Indian Railways

Okhil Babu’s letter to the Railway Department (early 1900’s ) =============================================

“I am arrive by passenger train Ahmedpur station and my belly is too much swelling with jackfruit. I am therefore went to privy. Just I doing the nuisance that guard making whistle blow for train to go off and I am running with ‘lotah’ in one hand and ‘dhoti’ in the next when I am fall over and expose all my shocking to man and female women on plateform. I am got leaved at Ahmedpur station. This too much bad, if passenger go to make dung that dam guard not wait train five minutes for him. I am therefore pray your honour to make big fine on that guard for public sake. Otherwise I am making big report to papers.”

Okhil Chandra Sen wrote this letter to the Sahibganj divisional railway office in 1909. It is on display at the Railway Museum in New Delhi. It was also reproduced under the caption “Travellers’ Tales” in the Far Eastern Economic Review.

Any guesses why this letter is of historic value?
It led to the introduction of TOILETS in trains!!!!!!!!!

i am "learning" to travel in train.i have very bad experiance with IR.it happened that in my place there is no rail connection.we have to go to Ernakulam/Alwaye for train.
bad experiance includes the dirty games including with the booking of seats by railway porters and once i panicked(TTR) in Coimbatore and jumped out of running train to platform(lucky to be still here).still trying to learn travelling in train

I struggle to find the different compartments esp general compartment in trains :cry:

and BTW i never used toilets in trains as the boggies given to kerala mostly are old ones.cant be sure if using toilet ends my life

This too much bad, if passenger go to make dung that dam guard not wait train five minutes for him.
