I am a Thai, living in Bangkok, and I have this habit of leaving youtube documentary on and go to sleep. But this particular documentary kept my eyes wide open and stuck to it from the beginning to the end. It is now 5.12 am, and I am still thinking whatever is happening to these brothers and sisters of ours. So happy to have learned from comments below that the rail has been revamped and now in service. Hard working people with dreams deserve opportunity. If the board gauge is giving them opportunity i m happy for them.
@@SohailAmin Thank you Sohail that the new railway line has been built, I am happy that my country has contributed in a small way for the benefit of the Janakpur people.
Hi Pradeep: At the end, it said that new line will start in 2017. Can u give an update since u r from Janakpur.. What is the status on the broad gauge line? Did it start? Are trains running? Or how much work has been done on that?

@@vintageseller7700 Hi, thanks so much for your concern. Even after completing the tracks and stations it hasn't been started yet. Because of some bad politician and their politics trains are still waiting to run. We request indian gov. To talk with nepali gov. and make it complete as soon as possible.
I am an Indian. How long can we be so insensitive to the travails that abject poverty and lack of opportunity burdens them with? But I glory in their pride and their will to survive in spite of all.: especially our women folk. I do hope the Indian Railways and the Government will stick to their word and establish the broad gauge line. Thank you for this excellent documentary.
What a documentary. The Railways are the life line to many. The underbelly surrounding the Train and the Railways, was captured in a nuanced and heartwarming fashion. Determination, Grit is written all over. Hope the Janakpur residents have got back their train. Thanks BBC for the wonderful documentary.
New India has lesson here from Regina, a true life size heroin of this story. Being a Muslim she cares to take a leap of "faith" and offers a goat to Hindu goddess and says" your God and my god are not different". This belief in union of humanity and God invokes philosophical resonance of Kabir that people have so easily forgotten now.
I didn't see poor people. I only saw proud working people with not enough income. Nepal is so beautiful, I hope they can keep the Chinese out with their so called investment opportunities.
Hard working people are pretty much everywhere; it's just the politicians who are incredibly corrupt and ate up almost all the aids, funds, tax money that now it has nothing!

THIS GIVES ME THE GRATITUDE FOR MY WONDERFUL RAILROAD CARREER AND RETIREMENT, STARTING SEPT 1964! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR THE GOOD FOR MY STEPKIDS AND MY GRANDKIDS! I SALUTE THE EFFORTS OF MY NEPALESE RAILROAD BROTHERS AND THEIR SACRIFICE!! I HOPE VERY MUCH THAT THEY WILL PROSPER IN THE FUTURE WITH THE FUTURE RR CONNECTIONS BEING ESTABLISHED! KEEP THEM ROLLING BROTHERS!! 👍👍
They got a brand new train and constructed new tracks for it. But I doubt whatever happend the earlier employees, because the new trains probably came with new pilots and mechanics
It is such a important route... economic, culture, social, religion and tourism wise with hardly any support from Indian and Nepalese Government. It's like time travel into past...most of Bihar Trains we're same 25 years back. More than train it's a lifeline for poor people from India and Nepal Thanks BBC
It is very touching. Not just about the train. But the human life in Nepal. About their struggle, their dream, and their hope for the worth of living. Thank you so much BBC. I really love this one. And my warm regards from Jakarta, Indonesia, for the people of Nepal. May God bless you all.
@@AshishPanthee62 Dont feel down., Nepal has always been great and will always been one. The only hindu majority country and proud to be the most secular country amongst SAARC countries right now which never differentiates with its minority people. Keep your heads up in pride, things will change, be strong and be happy
loved to see old video of my country...now this line is rebuild with broader gauge and brand new track..and many other railway tracks are underway linking india as well as east west nepal railway..
My Ancestral Home is the Last House on Indian Border .In fact the nearest Govt Hospital for us was the Hospital Of Janakpur in Nepal ,where I was born.As a Young Boy we would go to 'no mans land' to play cricket on the Indo-nepalese border.Now I see Military Post coming up...Recently a man was shot by Nepalese Border Guards...Tension is rising and peace between neighbors is collapsing
I don't know how I missed this amazing documentry, but I am happy that I have seen now. Well executed with perfect balance of voice. Kudos to everyone who put their efforts to make this documentary possible.
After 12 days "bang on time"… what a mischievous play of words. Thank you for such a nice presentation. Even that stray cow ran faster than that train with the so called "top speed". Ha ha, hilarious to the hilt!
Really really nice documentry. Sir you made me cry several times while watching. My heart goes out for workers and commuters of this line . God bless them all.
This place is just 10km from my home in madhubani district of Bihar, These people are speaking Maithili language which is language of mithilanchal,Bihar Don't know why we are two countries while my uncle,fufa,fua ji all are now in Nepal, Janakpur is nearest town of Nepal from Bihar, We are one people but divided by border only, We can travelled across border without visa,we often visit to Nepal for Himalayan tour,very close from us I hope Nepal gets incorporated in India & become a part of it,it will develop immensely, Coming to this video,I have also travelled on Nepali train,but now India has built a new train route in Nepal,which is very good for India & Nepal people,
Shivam Sinha ,I enjoyed reading your comment ,hopefully your family and all other families have safe travels on the railway ,and on your visits to your family ,thanks for sharing.
Nepal will develop on its own. We have less educated unemployment than India. We are better in hunger index, mother child care, rural sanitation etc. than India. Because of the decade long civil war exported by India to Nepal, the devastating earthquake and economic blockade by Mr. Modi our development stood at standstill. In the next two decades Nepal will overtake India and many other nations in South Asia.
@@belbahadurg1 bro,you are filled with hatred,go ahead,god bless Nepal,but for me Nepal is brother of India, PS. Janki FM in Janakpur,Nepal is owned by my own uncle,on name of my aunty Janki Devi.. We love Nepal not hatred people like you
Well done documentary. You have not forgotten about the old railways. Thank you God, just for the flies alone, I might not be able to sleep, eat or live.
Ops! Salute to the team for marking such a tearful and excellent documentary. I visited Nepal several times and observed these things also but presentation and videography is really heart touching.
In Indian railway, Still Few 20-25 year Locomotives running smoothly. And In Nepal they finished off 20 year old engines donated by India..Shows the work Ethics. Anyway salute To Rezina.I wish she gets a happy comfortable life.
This is the definition of why public transport is crucial for for connecting towns! I'm glad that i watched this and my heart broke a little seeing the old steam locomotives in ruins
I guess they found their miracle. This line was gauge converted to broad gauge with replaced tracks this year and the rolling stock will be replaced for something less, uh, utterly doomed. Service starts on Gandhi's birthday. Nepal Railways was dissolved in 2014 though.
Trevor Grayling the company was dissolved my dude, nobody kept anything. I think Indian railways is training up new staff for the new company. The line is being built by India as like a diplomatic thing. A rather expensive endeavor too at that. So I don't think you'll see much of Regina and others riding on the roof of something India discarded decades ago now either, sadly.
@@excitableboy7031 Here's what it looks like now, 2 1/2 years later. czcams.com/video/NsHAirvYv0M/video.html And don't worry about Regina. She and others like her will do ten times better than before :) I'd wager that a lot of the old Nepal Railway guys will also get jobs on the Nepal side. Things are changing very fast.
Excellent work. Depicted the part played by this train. It is like an old mother struggling to keep their children live. I request BBC to show the feelings of the heros when they travel by the new train to be commissioned. Hats off.
Most of the people shown here are Indians not Nepalese and they are speaking Hindi language not Nepali language. So, this railway is used mostly by Indians, who are living in border areas to come to Nepal for work in east of Nepal(Terai region). Every part of Nepal is not like it is shown in documentary. Nepal is beautiful country, with beautiful and hard working honest people. This is Terai region where main income source is agriculture. We are proud of our terai region and people\farmers who are working hard from whom we get our daily breads, foods all over the country. Well, Im glad that now there is new train so, people dont have to suffer this way. Indians and Nepalese both can enjoy safe means of transfortation now. Jai Nepal🇳🇵
Better connectivity will help everyone,now nepal can get resources from and send exports to indian ports faster and indian ports in turn will process more creating new jobs.We should work together more to help each other.
Very good documentary sir ,really feel sad for the people who are totally dependent on the train to run their life and hope 1 day their misery will be solved, really heart melting story.
Loved every moment of this fine piece of audio/video! I especially loved the other-worldly soundtrack, really 'fit' the bill. I was so disappointed when it ended...excellent work everyone involved, an epic slice of our modern reality 💖 🇨🇦
No factory no building. Bro. See the natural beauty. Those rich(so called) countries can never get that peace and calmness of the nature. That's not called poor idiot(BBC). That is the real richness.
This CZcamsr earn 100% marks. under the cover of railways, he is telling true stories of many people's experiences. getting marry and have children is Not my choice, I'm okay being single and die single. extreme financial constraints never leave us!
This is a fantastic documentary. It shows the hardship the people of Indian subcontinent are enduring on a daily basis just to have a piece of bread to neutralize their hunger. One day India and Nepal will be a better place. This is the expectation only. We don't know when there will be a change when the people of Indian subcontinent will have the better lives.
Well! India has already changed, most of it, if not all. The so called poor people of India are even refusing work many times in a month. I can't comment on other subcontinental countries.
@@Shiburishu , You are right. I forgot this point. In general Indian people do not like to work. Indian people wants easy life. Indian people feel comfortable to beg for money than to work. The same Indian people work hard when they go to foreign countries. They make money and the live with dignity and honor. But if they get any chance for not to work they stop working. They say they have headaches, they have back pain, they have heart disease and so many other problem. So you are also right. I spent thousands of dollars to send some of my distant family members to Middle East. They went there and then they say these are very bad works. They cannot do these works. I had to send money to them from USA. Then I stopped sending money. They came back to India. Then they have no money. They borrowed money or sold land to go to Middle East again and they went again to Middle East. Now they are working there. Now they don't come back to India. I sponsored my family members to come to USA. They came and began to live on me. I started pressing them to go to work. They said they have this disease, that disease and so on. Then I kicked them out of my home. They are my brothers. They turned into my enemies. When they got out of my home they began to look for job and they began to work. Now they don't keep any relation with me but they work. I am happy. Let them live honorably. It is not necessary for them to keep connection with me. I don't want them to bother me all the time. Let them live away from me. If they can come back close to me they will stop working. That I know surely. That's why I don't want them to call me even. This is the nature of Indian people in general. I believe you. You are right. Do one thing, stop giving them money.
@@MatirManush-wu9cc Your grammar bro! Where do you find such rickety railway infrastructure in India? India has transformed, It is the third largest economy in the world and also the fastest growing one......I fail understand which India you are talking about.
@@gauravsharma1254, Brother, India is still a third world country. Mr. Sharma, you are living in a world of fantasy. We are wandering where do you live ? Do you live in India ? If you live in India then why are you so unaware of the socioeconomic condition of the country ? If you don't live in India then where do you live that you cannot keep track of what's going on in your own country. We are really shocked at your remark. Earlier this year, a 13-year-old girl from Lakhimpur in Uttar Pradesh hanged herself after starving for more than two days - her father had passed away and her mother had found no work as a laborer. In the same week, a tribal youth in Kerala was beaten to death for stealing a Kilo of rice from a grocery store. He had earlier restored to begging and then to stealing ; when caught he was severely beaten and later succumbed to his injuries. I just told you two incidences. If I start telling all these pathetic stories of hungry people of India the night will pass away but the story of poverty and pain in India will not be ended. Let me give you some information. More than 14.5 % Indian people are under nourished, 21% children are suffering from acute malnutrition, 38.5% of Indian children are not getting enough food to grow, 250 millions of Indian people are not getting food to neutralize their hunger everyday. In other words, India is not in a state of famine, it is quite clearly in a state of chronic hunger. Mr. Sharma, don't ignore our poverty, hunger, food shortage, unemployment, disease, lack of treatment, malnutrition, women mortality, children mortality, abuse of women, social injustice for women, fanaticism, killing of innocent human beings in the name of protection of cows, riot, chaos, conflict, destruction of religious places by fanatics, division among Indians in the name of religion, and so many other natural and man made calamities. We believe you are a young man. Do something for yourself, your family and your country. Don't boost with falsehood, fantasy and fabricated superiority. India is still trying to develop. It is not a developed country. You must keep this in mind all the time.
@@gauravsharma1254 largest economy and growth rate are single figures. As a matter of fact even the Per Capita figure doesn't represent the real economy. On need to ponder upon the disparity of Income. But considering the fact that India is such a huge country (by population), it is unlikely that the disparity of income can be reduced to acceptably low levels.

A wonderful documentary.
No factory no building. Bro. See the natural beauty. Those rich(so called) countries can never get that peace and calmness of the nature. That's not called poor idiot(BBC). That is the real richness.
Does this richness feed of empty and hungry stomachs? What to do with this natural richness?
Awesome documentary.
India has to help our brother nation Nepal. Bharat Mata ki Jai.
Never india also see where they have income just it
Haan india ka paisa to haraam ka hain.inki help karo aur bandar chaap nepali india ko hi gaali denge.marne do bandaro ko.
No Thanks! Hope India would just not hold projects in Nepal. We have many friendly nations eager to work in Nepal.
@Nang Darin lol moron. You are a fucking ricebag convert from Arunachal. Stop spending lies about Hinduism.
@@tycoonkrishnaja you understand what's sarcasm. Don't you?
This CZcamsr earn 100% marks. under the cover of railways, he is telling true stories of many people's experiences. getting marry and have children is Not my choice, I'm okay being single and die single. extreme financial constraints never leave us!
Great documentary
This is a fantastic documentary. It shows the hardship the people of Indian subcontinent are enduring on a daily basis just to have a piece of bread to neutralize their hunger. One day India and Nepal will be a better place. This is the expectation only. We don't know when there will be a change when the people of Indian subcontinent will have the better lives.
Well! India has already changed, most of it, if not all. The so called poor people of India are even refusing work many times in a month. I can't comment on other subcontinental countries.
@@Shiburishu , You are right. I forgot this point. In general Indian people do not like to work. Indian people wants easy life. Indian people feel comfortable to beg for money than to work. The same Indian people work hard when they go to foreign countries. They make money and the live with dignity and honor. But if they get any chance for not to work they stop working. They say they have headaches, they have back pain, they have heart disease and so many other problem. So you are also right.
I spent thousands of dollars to send some of my distant family members to Middle East. They went there and then they say these are very bad works. They cannot do these works. I had to send money to them from USA. Then I stopped sending money. They came back to India. Then they have no money. They borrowed money or sold land to go to Middle East again and they went again to Middle East. Now they are working there. Now they don't come back to India.
I sponsored my family members to come to USA. They came and began to live on me. I started pressing them to go to work. They said they have this disease, that disease and so on. Then I kicked them out of my home. They are my brothers. They turned into my enemies. When they got out of my home they began to look for job and they began to work. Now they don't keep any relation with me but they work. I am happy. Let them live honorably. It is not necessary for them to keep connection with me. I don't want them to bother me all the time. Let them live away from me. If they can come back close to me they will stop working. That I know surely. That's why I don't want them to call me even. This is the nature of Indian people in general. I believe you. You are right. Do one thing, stop giving them money.
@@MatirManush-wu9cc Your grammar bro! Where do you find such rickety railway infrastructure in India? India has transformed, It is the third largest economy in the world and also the fastest growing one......I fail understand which India you are talking about.
@@gauravsharma1254, Brother, India is still a third world country. Mr. Sharma, you are living in a world of fantasy. We are wandering where do you live ? Do you live in India ? If you live in India then why are you so unaware of the socioeconomic condition of the country ? If you don't live in India then where do you live that you cannot keep track of what's going on in your own country. We are really shocked at your remark.
Earlier this year, a 13-year-old girl from Lakhimpur in Uttar Pradesh hanged herself after starving for more than two days - her father had passed away and her mother had found no work as a laborer. In the same week, a tribal youth in Kerala was beaten to death for stealing a Kilo of rice from a grocery store. He had earlier restored to begging and then to stealing ; when caught he was severely beaten and later succumbed to his injuries. I just told you two incidences. If I start telling all these pathetic stories of hungry people of India the night will pass away but the story of poverty and pain in India will not be ended.
Let me give you some information. More than 14.5 % Indian people are under nourished, 21% children are suffering from acute malnutrition, 38.5% of Indian children are not getting enough food to grow, 250 millions of Indian people are not getting food to neutralize their hunger everyday. In other words, India is not in a state of famine, it is quite clearly in a state of chronic hunger.
Mr. Sharma, don't ignore our poverty, hunger, food shortage, unemployment, disease, lack of treatment, malnutrition, women mortality, children mortality, abuse of women, social injustice for women, fanaticism, killing of innocent human beings in the name of protection of cows, riot, chaos, conflict, destruction of religious places by fanatics, division among Indians in the name of religion, and so many other natural and man made calamities.
We believe you are a young man. Do something for yourself, your family and your country. Don't boost with falsehood, fantasy and fabricated superiority. India is still trying to develop. It is not a developed country. You must keep this in mind all the time.
@@gauravsharma1254 largest economy and growth rate are single figures. As a matter of fact even the Per Capita figure doesn't represent the real economy. On need to ponder upon the disparity of Income. But considering the fact that India is such a huge country (by population), it is unlikely that the disparity of income can be reduced to acceptably low levels.
Very emotional and ❤️ touching.
Sita maa will be very happy , good filming .
