@@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?
@@maddy4u1984 Hi maddy, as much i know that lines are ready and fully constructed, they did trail running as well.

I think the current cold relation between indian and nepali gov. Might be the reason.

Many watchers will be happy to learn... thank you and wish you luck..
@@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.
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.
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.
This is Tarun Bhartiya, director of this doc. I had no idea that the film has been uploaded on UA-cam. Thanks dear uploader for doing this, atleast more people got to see it. After ten years revisiting this film, i was overwhelmed, all the shooting memories came back, all the troubles and all the pleasures. I want to thank all the people who commented here and all those who were moved by the stories of resilience and resistance. For me especially making this film was special because this is the only film I have made in mothertongue Maithili and set in Mithila PS: The song that many have liked, is just a few fragments that I wrote for the background music for cinematic effect. It does not exist on internet because it is not a complete song. Thanks for watching
@@vinoelectromechanic Why don't you go say that to all the other people commenting where they are from? Ahh, because you you only have a problem with Americans...
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! So typical china saw this opportunity and attempting the settle there like hong kong or taiwan to get closer to the india throwing lumpsum money to those corrupt politicians who are even ready to sell out their country to the highest bidder.
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.
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
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.
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..
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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 💖 🇨🇦
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.
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
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.
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
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. ua-cam.com/video/NsHAirvYv0M/v-deo.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.
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.
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.
It is a wonderful documentary.thanks BBC. I really wept seeing this video.now we are in 2021.jaypur janakpuridham has been upgraded to modern broadguage line . please make video about that . That will make a good end to this 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.
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.
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🇳🇵
i thought they will show india...but glad to see nepal... moat of the winter wear sellers are Nepalese and watchmans in india are also Nepalese...good nd honest people.
Nice documentary, 5-stars! At the base, we are people who need basic things in life such as - shelter, food, water, education. No one is born enemy of others, it is society in which we brought up, I will be glad to see that governments working hand-to-hand to uplift life of less fortunate beyond boundaries. I am quite sure if people have better life, children have schools to afford, there is clean water, transport, business the hatred can come down to minimum levels.
exactly my friend, towards the end this is what troubled me, infact i am going to my native next month in April/May and after watching this, i am planning to go to Jaynagar and see if trains are plying or not, i have done many trips to Nepal in childhood but nothing in past 20yrs. Will surely do this time and will try to find out about Aman

@@excitableboy7031 Here's what it looks like now, 2 1/2 years later. ua-cam.com/video/NsHAirvYv0M/v-deo.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.
Good documentary for the next generations to show the importance of railway line and the connections within countries
The spiritual strength of these people is just amazing.
This is an amazing doc, not only does it the capture the history but the day to day struggles of locals and they're resilience to facing problems
lots of love from nepal for who makes this documentary....
Blessings to the people of Nepal and India 🙏
The last (apr 2022 ) month Indian Government restore Jaynagar-Janakpur Railway after gauge Changing narrow to Broad .....😊😊😊😊💐💐💐💐

Its totally changed not like this anymore
Give more help to Nepal , India government give importance to it , more roads and railway to Nepal from India , Nepalis are our brothers
Hame kuchha nahin chahiye. Nakebandi mat karna aur hamare haq ki air route de dena.
This documentary touched my heart and tears started flowing from the eyes. This situation is only because of personal interest of the leaders.
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.
The background song was outstanding. can you anyone tell me who is the singer and what is the title of the song?
India should take care of Nepal ....
BEST documentary ever!
Great share video new friend! Thank for sharing! Greeting from Vietnam.
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.
I'm proud my ancestors my grandfather my father
Work in South Central railway and my entire childhood rounds on railway
It is a wonderful documentary.thanks BBC. I really wept seeing this video.now we are in 2021.jaypur janakpuridham has been upgraded to modern broadguage line . please make video about that . That will make a good end to this documentary.
Wow.... Amazing documentary... I'm really touched...
Very hear touching documentry.simply love it.❤️👌👍
This is a positive attitude of these people keep pation 💪💪💪💪💪
9:43, They'll work unpaid to keep the line alive, Admirable
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?
Wow, a wonderful journey in ZDM 5 for an hour 👌
This documentary should be declared as "Culturally Important",and preserved for posterity.
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.
The song at 16:06, love it. No idea what it is though. Does anyone have any idea. If so give a youtube link please.
Love this documentary so much
Synchronization of music with happening s of passengers.Encouraging young Nepali to bring blossoms to their state.
its awesome that they try to keep the line alive no matter what
Super Presentation....well structured...nice contents...WellDone🌹🧡🚦
Excellent video. Great.
Thank u.
We think at some point that we are not doing better but there are people who are dealing in worse or worst conditions respect to those mothers 😢🙌🤞
Your God and my God are not different. The differences lie in your hearts. I cried. Can we all just come together ❤
I had neither sky above me or ground beneath me...
Beautiful, heart touching. above all rezina comments on religion is highly commendable
I used to watch this on Netflix but they took it off. Glad to see it on here!
This was on NETFLIX WHAT!?
@@KizzMyAbs it was, but they took it 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🇳🇵
Wonderful..How the people are facing the situation with
i thought they will show india...but glad to see nepal... moat of the winter wear sellers are Nepalese and watchmans in india are also Nepalese...good nd honest people.
Sita maa will be very happy , good filming .
i only see people ethos. . .love you all i think nepal gov work on that and take people problem seriously
Nice documentary, 5-stars! At the base, we are people who need basic things in life such as - shelter, food, water, education. No one is born enemy of others, it is society in which we brought up, I will be glad to see that governments working hand-to-hand to uplift life of less fortunate beyond boundaries. I am quite sure if people have better life, children have schools to afford, there is clean water, transport, business the hatred can come down to minimum levels.
Train services has improved between India and Nepal. The narrow gauge has been converted into broad gauge with regular train.
Sometimes I really wanna know about the current situation of these guys like Rajina & Aman, how they are living, where are they now
exactly my friend, towards the end this is what troubled me, infact i am going to my native next month in April/May and after watching this, i am planning to go to Jaynagar and see if trains are plying or not, i have done many trips to Nepal in childhood but nothing in past 20yrs. Will surely do this time and will try to find out about Aman
@@abhishekjha346 I wonder if Regina Still travels along this route? And how she is doing today in 2021.
