Kenyan Vlogger’s 30-Hour Indian Train Video Goes Viral, Raising Questions About Crowding and Personal Space

Media coverage notes the user-generated video has not been independently verified.

Overview

  • Instagram user Vin Soul shared footage from a general class coach showing a local passenger resting his head on the vlogger’s thigh during a long journey.
  • The clip depicts an extremely crowded compartment, with Soul seated on an upper berth after roughly 30 hours of travel.
  • Viewers reacted with a mix of sympathy and criticism, with some calling the scene a breach of personal boundaries and others pointing to the realities of unreserved travel.
  • Several commenters suggested choosing reservation-based sleeper classes to avoid such situations, while Soul appears to endure the moment without confrontation in the video.
  • Hindustan Times labeled the clip as user-generated and said it had not independently verified the claims, and no official response from Indian Railways was reported.
