Though caste based reservation is not good for the country but our political parties especially Congress has created a situation where by if has become a burning issue in India. The policy of appeasement has been pursued by the our political system and our society stands divided in many sections. The poorest of the poor is not getting benefits of reservation in the existing reservation system. Poor people are all castes, then why the system is continuing for so many years. It is high time that the whole system should be reviewed and caste based reservation should be abolished and it should be based on economical criteria, that will lead our country to casteless society and create love and affection among people here and will take our country to golden era. more

Suggestions: 1. Keep toilet floors dry 2. Provide toilet jets for washing instead of mugs 3. as far as possible provide western toilets so that no water falls on floor 4.put posters asking passengers to put waste in Bins only 5. Bread for breakfast are packed on the space between doors and toilet by caterers which is unhealthy 6. put control on luggage and prescribe maximum luggage one can take in Kgs 7. cleaning staff are not very regular in their work and should be supervised they can get signatures from passengers for the work done as is being done in govt offices 8.Railway tracks are free for all for throwing waste -penalize ,fine people doing it 9.food vendors on platforms to be trained on hygiene and safe practices- 10. unauthorised vendors should not be allowed on platforms or near or inside trains more  
Corruption is there not only in the railways. I have found that most of the sub-operators of TV channels are not giving receipts for charges taken from their customers. This apparently is done 1. to cheat the State government of entertainment tax, 2. to hide actual income and avoid paying full Income tax, 3. to ovr charge the customers. I reported a specific case to the Gujarat government right to the CMO and through through them to the secretary entertainment tax, Shri Bhagyesh Jha. This has been pending for over a year without initiation of any action. I HAVE ALSO FORWARDED THE ENTIRE SET OF EMAILS TO SHRI RJANATH SINGH A FEW DAYS AGO. I AM STILL AWAITING THE INITIATION OF ACTION. Unless prompt action is taken in such matters I do not think corruption will ever decrease. more
