This is Tarun Bhartiya, director of this doc. I had no idea that the film has been uploaded on RUclips. 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
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?
@@maddy4u1984 Hi maddy, as much i know that lines are ready and fully constructed, they did trail running as well. First it was about to start on the occassion of "Vivah Panchami" but then they said somewhete the tracks are not straight so they will make it again but then no news. I think the current cold relation between indian and nepali gov. Might be the reason.
@@pradeepjha2690 hello pradeep... I'm from Mumbai.. we are finicky about the smallest problem with our local trains. It really burnt my heart to see the condition of this DMZ 524 service... it's been 6 months since your last update can you tell us what is the situation now? 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.
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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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
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!
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. ruclips.net/video/NsHAirvYv0M/видео.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.
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.
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
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 RUclipsr 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!
The youth of India ought to be protected because they are the future of the world. It is the problem of corruption all over the world. The higher ups keep most of the money and what little is left, goes to the rest of us.
This is a very interesting and fascinating documentary, well made. This documentary connects the audience with the people across the border with the railway line as the lifeline. It would be nice if India builds broad gauge 2-line track to the town in Nepal and provides 3 modern railway engines and compartments to the Nepal railways, along with uplifting the stations, new bridges and other ailing infrastructure. Sometimes, it's important to spend money on infrastructure even if making loss, so that people have access to the basic reliable transport. The loss of running this strip of railway line can be easily overcome with the gains made in other parts of the country. For example, US Amtrak doesn't loses money operating line from east coast to west coast, but provides service nevertheless as required by law. The loss is overcome with the highly profitable Amtrak services in east and west coast metro areas.
Seems India has built the new stations and a broad gauge line. Now it looks like a proper railway infrastructure. But will this be self-sustainable? The new company should remain a subsidiary of the Indian Railways so that it survives. Indian railways are going fully electric but this line seems to be have been upgraded but not electrified. Perhaps for keeping roof surfers safe!! Now, express trains will take care of the tourists and goods trains will flood in supplies. Small-time smugglers will board the passenger trains but the whole business model will for sure change.
MahanXYZ Yeah, the issue is that the Nepal government can be somewhat unstable sometimes. So the maintainance would probably be more stable if it were to remain a subsidiary of Indian Railways.
While watching the documentary I was wondering why Indian government/railways is not taking any initiative in order to hepl Nepal Railways. At the end I was happy to hear that now Indian Railways r there.
@nibus9 Ya its true. But remember one thing. Because India is growing so fast and so rapidly. Since last 2 decades. That no one had ever imagine. Due to that our neighbouring countries r jealous abt India. Its their jealously and frustration which make them to do so.
There are so many life's lessons to be learnt here, poverty, desperate survival, coexistence of different nationalities and faiths divided by imaginary borders, colossal mismanagement by corrupt government officials, unequal opportunities in job, education, and life style, all that make this world an unfair and yet colourful and hope giving canvas for the future. It is up to humanity to draw the map for the future after overcoming all obstruction and there in lies hope without which survival would be impossible.
Incredible documentary. My heart goes out to these poor peoples, trapped in poverty and pagan worship. I just bless the Lord for our prosperity and pray that these poor people find Jesus Christ. The only hope in the world. From AFRICA, WITH LOVE.
It is humbling and beautiful to see and feel these videos of the people who have no time to worry “ cause it is their constitutional freedom right to mask up or not “ here in Canada these Covid days . Be Damm grateful we have comforts and homes here and have individual family and or single dwellings of great comfort , foods , warmth , bathrooms and Space . I do wonder if the new line got up and running in 2017 ? Anyone know ?
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.
Excellant ungarnished documentary of transport accessibilty in a simple village of folks forced by circumstances in its tenacity to eke out a living. When such spirit is displayed there is HOPE . But It is a pity that political instabilty is endemic in this country where corruption is systemic to subsequent governments. To say that the people are happy is an injustice for how can one be happy when the next meal is uncertain and the despair when moments of no sky above nor earth beneath is felt.
I doubt they saw the film before the crackdown. The question is, this is 2019 and what is the status of the new line? From Google Earth it looks like the line is graded but not in service yet.
As long as the Railway Chief in Kathmandu has his nice air conditioned office, the world is ok. About the Rest? well, there is no budget.. What a jerk...The station was closed in 2014... The film shows since 2015, wonder what is happening there now in 2021? wirth Corona around on top of it...
I am an Indian, I visited Nepal with a tourist group in 2015 , Today I am seeing this documentary. I heard a beautiful melody between 16:05-17:45,when the train started, I couldn't understand it's language but the melody is awesome. IF SOMEBODY KNOWS THE MELODY PLEASE TELL ME I WANT TO HEAR THE FULL SONG
Meaning:- a lady is singing this song in memory of her husband who currently lives in some foreign land (for work)and she is wondering when he is going to come to her , and the melody just adds lots of emotions in it . That's what you are feeling brother 🙏

That would be great if you have the patience to put up with widespread corruption. Also the line needs to be adjusted to India's 6 feet.

"Most of the big consignments they let go. They only trouble small guys" .... What an irony....
Incredible documentary. My heart goes out to these poor peoples, trapped in poverty and pagan worship. I just bless the Lord for our prosperity and pray that these poor people find Jesus Christ. The only hope in the world. From AFRICA, WITH LOVE.
Countries across world must help nepal
BEST documentary ever!
It is humbling and beautiful to see and feel these videos of the people who have no time to worry “ cause it is their constitutional freedom right to mask up or not “ here in Canada these Covid days . Be Damm grateful we have comforts and homes here and have individual family and or single dwellings of great comfort , foods , warmth , bathrooms and Space . I do wonder if the new line got up and running in 2017 ? Anyone know ?
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.
What happened to the old employees after upgradation?
Great share video new friend! Thank for sharing! Greeting from Vietnam.
Today still remeber Date 14 nov 2021 .Thanks U TUBE my age 85
Train services has improved between India and Nepal. The narrow gauge has been converted into broad gauge with regular train.
Excellant ungarnished documentary of transport accessibilty in a simple village of folks forced by circumstances in its tenacity to eke out a living. When such spirit is displayed there is HOPE . But It is a pity that political instabilty is endemic in this country where corruption is systemic to subsequent governments. To say that the people are happy is an injustice for how can one be happy when the next meal is uncertain and the despair when moments of no sky above nor earth beneath is felt.
you people ruined regina's life by showing how she is smuggling goods.
I didnt even think of that. Hopefully the authorities are not watching this.
I doubt they saw the film before the crackdown. The question is, this is 2019 and what is the status of the new line? From Google Earth it looks like the line is graded but not in service yet.
no... Regina did it to herself !
dont be silly
@@learnerm3120 they know she smuggles. obviously
I wonder if Regina Still travels along this route? And how she is doing today in 2021.
One of the finest documentry !
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.
Wow, a wonderful journey in ZDM 5 for an hour 👌

Mummy told me not to do politics 😂😂😂
As long as the Railway Chief in Kathmandu has his nice air conditioned office, the world is ok. About the Rest? well, there is no budget.. What a jerk...The station was closed in 2014... The film shows since 2015, wonder what is happening there now in 2021? wirth Corona around on top of it...

I am an Indian, I visited Nepal with a tourist group in 2015 , Today I am seeing this documentary.
I heard a beautiful melody between 16:05-17:45,when the train started, I couldn't understand it's language but the melody is awesome.
IF SOMEBODY KNOWS THE MELODY PLEASE TELL ME I WANT TO HEAR THE FULL SONG
Meaning:- a lady is singing this song in memory of her husband who currently lives in some foreign land (for work)and she is wondering when he is going to come to her , and the melody just adds lots of emotions in it .
That's what you are feeling brother 🙏

A remarkable story. Hard work and faith.
