Family Makes Sandwiches Inside Train Compartment, Sparks Debate About Civic Sense

Train journeys are a common part of daily life for countless travellers. With so many people sharing the same space, maintaining cleanliness, safety, and basic etiquette becomes essential. This is where civic sense plays an important role - being mindful of fellow passengers, public property, and shared environments. Recently, a video of a family preparing vegetable sandwiches inside a train compartment has gone viral, sparking discussion online.

The clip, shared on Instagram, shows the family laying out slices of bread on their hands, spreading green pudina chutney, and adding sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. Packets of sauces, jars of chutneys, and other ingredients can be seen arranged nearby. One family member presses the vegetables between the bread slices, assembling the sandwiches as if they were in a kitchen. The video was shared with the caption, "Family time."

While the video shows a detailed and "homemade" approach to making food on the go, it sparked a debate online. Check out some of the comments below:

A user commented under the video, "This is a train, not a picnic spot!"

Another wrote, "That's why people say Indians don't have civic sense. Do this when you're travelling in 1st AC; otherwise, you're disturbing others."

Someone added, "These types of passengers are a headache and too irritating for other co-passengers."

"Civic sense is a myth in India," read one comment.

One user wrote, "Please don't do this. Do this during your family picnic or family occasions. It smells a lot."

Another said, "Civic sense ZERO."

A user commented, "This is the worst thing I've seen on trains... I know they think it's like a family trip, cutting fruits and vegetables as if they're at home. But bro, this is an AC compartment-if you cut onions or other strong-smelling things, what about the other passengers? Why should others suffer just for your fun?"
