India's Frontier Railways (2015)

Episode Overview

In 1947, Bengal was split in two, leading to the formation of East Pakistan, a satellite state under Pakistani control, which was met with resistance. The struggle for autonomy culminated in a war for independence in 1971, resulting in the establishment of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. Fast forward 37 years, a significant milestone was reached with the launch of the Maitree Express, marking the inaugural train service connecting India and Bangladesh, symbolizing a new era of friendship and cooperation between the two nations.
