I am not taking your comments as personal, sir. By all means, the correct problem should be identified and dealt with to increase safety standards on IR. I didn't say that IR is a very safe network. And I don't care about winning arguments here. I have my share of inaccuracies and I'm more than happy to own up if there is any thing wrong in my posts.
And the point is not about blame game, sir. Identifying the correct problem is very important. Similarly, focusing on the wrong reason will end up doing more harm than solving the problem. I am not trying to play a blame game. There are many human-induced reasons behind the accidents we

are facing on IR and the most important part in solving this problem is correctly identifying the reason behind the accident. That's the only thing I'm trying to point out. There is a list of all possible reasons, I am just saying that rail quality is not among that list for IR. There are far more serious problems that should be tackled.
Based on what I know ( I am no authority here, this is just stuff that I've learned), I was merely pointing out that rail manufacturing is not the main problem behind these lax safety standards. I am only pointing out that as the manufacturing standards are usually quite high, it is more scary because we are seeing high level of safety concerns despite having good equipment to work with. This would mean that the fault lies else-where and we need to look properly for the correct reason.
Nothing is perfect in any institution. But when identifying problems, it is very important to make sure that the blame and attention doesn't shift towards the factors that are not responsible for the accidents. You can interpret it as a blame game or mere 'technicality', but the focus should always be identifying the root of the problem correctly. Only then can we formulate a solution.
