Original plan of passenger coach when British Ruled India
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------
Berth One lower for sitting sleeping, opposite same
Upper berth for luggage for both
No side berths
...
more...
no middle berths
There was Alleys for passing and attendants will wait for British Bosses
Free India :
Decided to provide 'facility' by exploiting every space inside the coach...
Middle berth, upper berth, SLB SUB
and one great RM Lalooji even thought to giving SMB even in all classes. Just to accommodate passengers.
what should have been inspiration for this uniquely weird idea 'accommodate maximum numbers in limited space'?

That was the reason Sashi Tharoor M.P., when told to avoid expenditure on Air Travel, retorted " I don't mind travelling by Cattle Class"
No doubt our politicians and priests want us to multiply like worms and live like swarm, worse than cattle....
Someone said "India need not be bombed with any atom or hydrogen bomb India will explode with "Population Bomb"

From independence population was ever increasing and it touched its height in 1970-2000. After that only the "rate"(only the rate of increase , not actual increase) came down . At independence we had only 8 coach , 9 coach , 12 coach trains etc. The model of the british nowhere matched the demand in trains after independence. So only accmodation like SLB , MB , UB , SUB etc. was increased.
Just my viewpoint
