Question

Each crowd had a language of its own and spoke among themselves without the fear of

being overheard. Something as ubiquitous as dal tasted like sambar in the South, gaining its

dalness as we climbed up to Orissa; tea was called, chya, chai and sa, while coffee was kafi,

kaapi, and koffee. For a person with limited skills when it comes to learning and understanding

new languages, this was my Train of Babel.

But I was clearly in a minority. The train had in it soldiers from the south going back to

patrol borders far away from home, and workers from the east going back home on a much

needed break - both serving as the connection between various parts of the country. These

were the polygots, speaking in tongues that had no relation with their own, at times in functional,

curt phrases, or with flourish.

On the train, it was soon clear how important this was for those from the South and

Northeast. Every second passenger was a defence personnel, a majority of them belonging to

the oldest regiment of Indian Army, the Madras regiment, and the Assam Rifles. The other half

was made up of labourers from the east and further east - the seven sisters of the Northeast.

The former protects, the latter serves.

The third kind of passengers were those from the North and Northeast, forced to come

down thousands of kilometres for quality medical care. P. Gupta, the patriarch of a family from

Dimapur, Nagaland, had come to the CMC Hospital in Vellore, where he underwent

check-ups for his various ailments.
