Woman on Train by Chiara Goia
For almost 20 years, there have officially been “women-only” cars on Indian trains. In practice, they too are full of men.
The government has just instituted six woman-only entire trains. New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Calcutta, as the country’s largest cities, are trying these “Ladies Specials” first. Passengers love it. Not only are they free from catcalls, but, at least for now, the trains are absent pickpockets and vendors, too.
