Indian Railways (IR) is the state-owned railway company of India. Indian Railways had, until very recently, a monopoly on the country's rail transport. It is one of the largest and busiest rail networks in the world, transporting just over six billion passengers and almost 750 million tonnes of freight annually. IR is the world's largest commercial or utility employer, with more than 1.6 million employees.

Indian Railway - A Success Story Under the Leadership of Laloo
Washington Times writes about the Indian Railway Success Story under the Leadership of Laloo Prasad Yadav:

A visitor to the New Delhi railway station could not be faulted for thinking nothing has changed. Tobacco stains still speckle the platforms, bleary-eyed travelers are sleeping on the floor, and a stink of garbage rises up from the tracks. But after a few minutes wait, the tracks bring a fresh sight: A high-speed train capable of traveling 93 miles per hour pulls up, the first of its kind in India. A trip that used to take four hours now takes two. And this is just the beginning. The man who brought about this transformation is an unlikely sort. Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav was formerly known for cracking jokes in rough Hindi, corruption scandals and ruling over chaotic Bihar state. He even poured cow dung over the heads of some reporters at his recent party celebrating Holi, a Hindu holiday welcoming spring. But few now doubt that Mr. Yadav has presided over an impressive business turnaround. He's the darling of industry groups and business newspaper headlines, doling out privatization of container traffic and 24-hour food courts. But more importantly, he's taken the world's largest employer -- a government giant of 1.5 million employees -- and boosted revenues by 15.5 percent without raising fares. D.H. Pai Panandiker, head of RPG Foundation, an economic think tank, said "Indian Railways has turned around and made an estimated profit of [$2.5 billion] in 2005-2006. What is important, however, is that, unlike previous ministers, Mr. Yadav has looked upon Railways as a commercial enterprise and not a social welfare institution. [He] is a hard taskmaster and will ensure his subordinates carry out the projects." Contradictions abound
Indian media which gets highly vocal about the eccentricities of Laloo, has remained relatively less vocal on his successful leadership. I think its painful for the media to see unexpected results.
