Men look out from an overcrowded train to travel home for the Chhath Puja festival at a railway station in New Delhi, India, Nov. 16, 2012. Migrant workers from Bihar, one of the country's poorer states, are traveling home in large numbers for Chhath, dedicated to the sun god Surya, one of the most significant Vedic festivals in the region.

I remember the trains being like this in India.....I loved it! A little overwhelming but full of life.
Ahhhhh, now this makes sense. :)
Why is this even newsworthy???
It is newsworthy for the same reason that schools in almost every nation on this planet, but the United States require their students to learn at least three languages other than their 'natural' language. It is newsworthy to those who wish to keep themselves informed of world events, to those who consider themselves citizens of this planet. It would not be newsworthy to anyone who would answer to "BUBBA." It is newsworthy, if for no other reason, as to show you just how good you have it in comparison to the rest of the world. Enjoy it while you have it as the dumbing of America does not have much further to go before Beavis and Butthead are elected to an office, acutally that was already tried by "new" Republican party that has no resemblence to the Republican Party party of the Eisenhower era.
