The sudden shift in the color of India’s beloved Vande Bharat train from blue to orange raised questions and sparked curiosity across the nation. Many wondered whether this change was driven by political reasons. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has now shed light on the matter.
No Political Motive
Minister Vaishnaw, speaking to the press, has categorically dismissed any political motivations behind the shift to the orange color for the Vande Bharat train. He clarified that there is a scientific reason behind this new orange hue.
Ashwini Vaishnaw’s Revelation
According to Ashwini Vaishnaw, the choice of the orange color for the Vande Bharat train is based on science. He explained that human eyes perceive two colors most easily: yellow and orange. This scientific principle influenced the decision to opt for an orange exterior for the train.
Best Colors for Eyes
Vaishnaw went on to elaborate that, aside from yellow and orange, there are a few other colors that are considered beneficial for the eyes. However, when it comes to the well-being of our eyes, yellow and orange are regarded as the most favorable choices.
The Maiden Orange Vande Bharat Journey
The inaugural orange Vande Bharat train journey took place on September 24th, with a green flag ceremony. The train commenced its journey from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram, marking a significant moment in Indian railway history. On this occasion, Prime Minister Modi unveiled a fleet of nine Vande Bharat trains simultaneously.
The change of the Vande Bharat train’s color to orange was not politically driven but rather a scientifically motivated decision to enhance visibility and benefit the eyes of passengers. This new hue symbolizes a fresh chapter in the journey of this iconic train, connecting different parts of the country with speed and style.
