I went to the station master. He also made the same reply. As soon as the booking window opened, might was right and passengers, who were forward and indifferent to others, coming one after another continued to push me out. I was therefore about the last of the first crowd to get a ticket. ALHAM The train arrived and getting into it was another trial. I went to the guard. He said, "You must try to get in where you can, or take the next train." Much against my mind, I got into an inter class compartment with my wife. The guard saw us getting in. At Asansol Station he came to charge excess fares. I said to him, "It was your duty to find us room. We could not get any, and so are sitting here." "You may not argue with me", said the guard, "I cannot accommodate you. You must pay the excess fare or get out." I wanted to reach Pune somehow, so I paid the excess fare demanded, but I resented the injustice. of third class passengers are undoubtedly due to the high- handedness of railway authorities. But the rudeness, dirty habits, selfishness and ignorance of the passengers themselves are no less to blame. The pity is that they often do not realize that they are behaving ill, dirtily or selfishly. They believe that everything they do is in the natural way. All this may be traced to the indifference towards them of us 'educated people'. (UPTGT-2005) ..............Question: 33.
