Im sorry I dont see it. By Indian standards these may be luxurious but by east asian or western standards they are well below average. In fact if you tried running coaches like these in any western or east asian countries the complaints would have them removed and recycled in days.
I sometimes worry that my fellow indians see only what they want to see.

The word used in the OP is beautiful, not luxurious. I think there is a marked difference between the meanings of two. And yes i agree that they are not luxurious but they are definitely beautiful and comfortable.

Its better to be optimistic by observing the slightest improvement than being sad by thinking what could have been done or what is lost or what are we in comparison to others.

Indian coaches need improvements as these are old designs. But i guess still the idea behind having them running is due to large population which is being catered by these railways.
