It sort of goes like this......

If each one of us decides to keep our own homes clean, our neighbourhood would be clean, then our city and eventually our country......

But in India it goes something like this...

Keep our homes clean by making our neighbourhood dirty and eventually our country......

Public places and transport are considered as someone else's property and there you have it, it is back dirty again.......

Change has to come........ I don't know how or when.......

They all are not dirty barring those which are overcrowded. The root cause is the crowd and also it's general negligence towards cleanliness.
As for being slow...yes they are slow by international standards. But making them faster will require dedicated tracks, and also barrickading on either sides of the track, which is not easy in a country like India. The Indian Railway doesn't run only one train that it has to run fast for making some world record!
The Indian Railways network's performance keeping in view the local conditions, terrain, population, also the Cattle population, the number of trains, commuters...the trains are actually running at a fairly fast speed.

I am no Indian but here is my guess...

Compare to the amount of people Worldwide using trains and compare it to India, you will see why.

Its just that too many people ride trains so it is a difficult task.

Also, missmanagement and corruption might have to do something with it.

Why are the trains slow?

Well, it might have to do something with the hours the train equipment has clocked, tough terrain, or the load carried by the engine or simply due to the age of the train.

The population near the railway tracks are high. Trains would need to stop fast to avoid accidents. That is why run slow.

The people using the railways are not clean and they do not keep the trains clean.

Remember that it is the largest railway in the world.

TD: Have you ever visited India? How would you know if it is dirty, if you have not?

Slow? Because they want to make sure they don't run into any of their gods along the way. Pesky cattle. You'd think divinity would trump a locomotive engine!

Dirty? What do you expect from a place where you can still catch the plague. The plague!

Cause India is a poor country therefore they don't have the money for the material to keep everything clean therefore the whole country is pretty dirty

They're slow so the people who fall off don't get killed.
Haven't you seen them riding on the roof and hanging off the sides?
They're dirty because they are always packed with people so there's no time out to clean them.
