The British Raj took over infrastructure design in India, creating a massive plan to build railways to major port cities. Britain entered the industrial revolution with goods from India.
Hurry mate! India is a wealthy country! Let’s build more railways to get more spices, textile and cotton back to Great Britain!
Yes let's do so mate! We’ll be richer and happier than everyone else. Because India belongs to Britain now and always.
Both Indian men and women worked on train construction to speed up infrastructure production. As a result, trains were extended to 66,000 km in length in 1929, carrying approximately 620 million passengers and 90 million tonnes of goods per year (2).
I completely agree! I'm starving and exhausted. This is our country, and we must fight to reclaim it.
I am grateful for the opportunity to work in my country, but the work is difficult and exhausting.
Passengers contributed 4.98 billion US dollars, while freight contributed 18.55 billion dollars. Railway exports totaled 633.27 million US dollars (3).
