Description
After a 12 hour train journey overnight across Tamil Nadu, we arrived in a country station at the foot of the Nilgiri hills on route to Ooty, a hill station at the meeting of the Eastern and Western Gatts, this involved a three hour journey virtually all uphill. This imposing gentleman is the commander of the railway police and if whiskers are any sign of rank, then he must be very important indeed.

From what little I know of India, I've always gotten the impression that the railways have been pretty important, so he must be important indeed. His uniform looks singularly unimposing, but the same can't be said of his whiskers. Wonderful image and great info!
