About this Episode

In this episode of Passport, we take a journey across India by train, discovering a melting pot of culture within the carriages. From history, literature, Bollywood, and real love, you never know what’s around the corner when you hand the conductor your ticket and take your seat. Why have trains inspired poems, films, and writings throughout India? What makes trains the perfect protagonists in love stories? This week, we share tales from inside the trains and explore the microcosm of Indian life—one that only exists on the railway.
