An X user travelling on a train from Lapland to Helsinki criticised his fellow countrymen for their “poor civic sense”. Gokul Sridhar recounted his experience on an “ultra-quiet” train in Finland, where a “very loud” Indian family disturbed other passengers.

In his post on X, Sridhar alleged that the Indian family was the only group in the compartment causing a disturbance. He explained that the family had their cabin doors open while speaking loudly in Hindi to someone on a video call. “I’m on a train from Lapland to Helsinki and there’s one family in the otherwise ULTRA QUIET carriage that’s being very loud, talking to someone over a video call. In Hindi. With their cabin doors open. We REALLY don’t get civic sense, do we?” he wrote.

“Ironically the video I was watching just now was about how speaking on the phone is very frowned upon in the Tokyo metro because it’s poor manners,” Sridhar added.

Guess who’s talking on their phone loudly in the QUIET COACH,” a user wrote. “Have seen this a lot of times in London and yes, it does give out an awful impression,” another user commented.

“Well, no surprise there. We Indians have a reputation of being wretched, filthy and loud. No matter how many tincans we send in space. Thats not gonna change,” a third user reacted.
