whats the problem yaar....in Russia they run train from Moscow to Vladivostok which is some 8000-9000 kms and takes 7-8 days to complete the journey.
Well said, yaar. In fact, Russia has the longest rail networks in the world. Also, there is China, which is a larger country than India, and has longer train journeys. Without these 70 hour trains, how will people (especially poor people) travel from Delhi to Kanyakumari or Guwahati to Bangalore? Do you want them to pay expensive plane fare? Actually, the Sleeper fares in Indian Railways are very affordable to even the poorest people of India, and provide a relatively comfortable journey for 70 hours.
Although long distance trains exist in many other countries, I believe IR is the optimum mix of price + comfort.
