Central motifs from the documentary

From the documentary, one of the main motifs that I observed was obviously the train as the means of transportation which also portrayed the immense poverty in India. The fact that majority of the lower middle class citizens of India use the train as their only means of transportation even with the intense surroundings and circumstances is mind boggling. Living in India for almost 10 years, India has opened my eyes to the extreme poverty. But I believe that the lower middle class ranks higher than the upper or middle class citizens in terms of population. And this documentary was directed more at the lower class citizens of India

Other secondary motifs I observed were some buildings and the crazy traffic as well.
