An Indian YouTuber’s video comparing train facilities in China and India is going viral on the Internet. Shubham Kumar, known as Ghumantu Shubham on YouTube, showed the viewers a video of his journey in a Chinese general train compartment, pointing out the surprising similarities between the general class trains of the two countries. The video has been viewed by nearly 7 lakh people since it was shared.
In the video, Shubham shows the atmosphere inside the Chinese bullet train. Passengers were roaming around in the cramped spaces and some people were sitting and standing near the toilets, this scene is usually seen in Indian general class trains. But after this he points out about the air conditioning and automatic doors of the train coach that such arrangements are not there in Indian general coaches. During this time, Shubham also captured some passengers in his video. In which everyone is looking at him. Then he sees a man lying under the seat and says that this is too much extra, this much is not there even in India. Later, talking about the seats, he tells that the seats are not as comfortable as they should be and like India, people bring buckets and chairs in this train too.
People commented on this video of Shubham in their own way. One user wrote that even the general bogie of China has AC and Vande Bharat like interior and automatic door and comfortable seats. The entire interior of this train is like Vande Bharat.
Another user said that for those who compare the infrastructure to China, it is not about the infrastructure, it is about how people use it. Being a country with such a huge population, whatever you do attracts the crowd.
Another user wrote that everyone is sitting peacefully in the train, this is rarely seen in Indian trains. A user jokingly asked whether people have spit gutka in the washroom in Chinese trains as well. Another user asked whether people come there to beg as well.
