A video that has gone viral on social media features a woman sitting on the floor in a metro while other passengers occupied seats. It is just heartbreaking to see how no one cared to give up their seat for this woman, who probably struggled to stand with the baby in her arms, hence she chose to sit on the floor. The video was shared by IAS officer Awanish Sharan. The video has over 7 lakh views.
In the now-viral video, the woman can be seen sitting with her baby on the floor of the metro train. There were several women occupying the seats there but none gave it up. As human beings, we should be more compassionate towards each other, but this video is just very heartbreaking.

Netizens took to the comments section and said that the video only shows how ‘insensitive’ people can get. “I can't agree with you more Sir. As a society, we are gradually becoming insensitive to others' pain and suffering. I was born and raised in Kolkata and remember every time there was any old person or a lady with a small kid getting onto the crowded bus, we used to leave our seats,” a Twitter user wrote.

A user in the comments section also pointed out that this is an old video. “It was made clear earlier that the lady had been offered a seat by many, but she refused and preferred sitting on the floor as it made her comfortable with the lap child,” he said in his tweet.
This video is very old. It was made clear earlier that the lady had been offered a seat by many, but she refused and preferred sitting on the floor as it made her comfortable with the lap child.
