Third Class in Indian Railways - M K Gandhi

A collection of 6 essays with the most prominent being the one on which the book is titled. The unfortunate part of Indian literature is we do not consider Gandhi as an author. Some may actually feel that his number of articles and books are really that large. Most of them are newspaper commentaries or letters he has sent to various important people of the time. But good part is all writings are serious, bringing out certain degree of reality of the period and a strong message of the time. Third class is actually a very apt essay on the apathy of the train travellers of those period. Unfortunately in last 80-90 years the condition of Indian train travel in upper classes also has not improved. The other essays are on Swadeshi, Vernacular media, Indian national dress. Everyone of them are treated in depth and upheld against common criticism of the period. Good read for a person who feels Gandhi still relevant to modern world.
