U'mmm... something's missing.  It may be India, but it looks more like Glendale.

The bars on the windows give it away as a 3rd world country.
Been to India and seen that.

At commuter time the bars give some passengers something to hold onto the outside of the train with overcrowding.

Strange photo. The bars on the windows perhaps say "India", or another overseas locale. The people sure do not (and I mean no disrespect for the people of India in saying that). It may not be Glendale, but the two main elements of the image (train and people) are not fitting together contextually. At least without further explanation. Could this perhaps be a tour group of Americans or Europeans on a platform in India? Inquiring minds ask....

Did the Original Poster not have his caption uploaded with the picture?

Perhaps most of the folks on the platform are her classmates.
