Description
Around India in 80 Trains is a travelogue that follows Monisha Rajesh's journey as she takes a page out of Jules Verne's story and embarks on an adventure around India by train. With a map of the Indian Railways as her guide, she sets out to explore the country, covering 40,000 km - the circumference of the Earth. Along the way, she discovers the colourful cast of characters and stories that make up the Indian Railways, from luxury trains to toy trains and everything in between. Monisha's personal journey is not without its surprises, particularly when she travels with a self-confessed "militant devout atheist". As she navigates a country built on religion, she finds that the Indian Railways have more than a few stories to tell. With its unique blend of adventure, culture, and character, this book offers a fascinating insight into India and its people. Through her travels, Monisha Rajesh lifts the veil on a country that has become a stranger to her, and in doing so, discovers a new appreciation for the complexities and diversity of India.
