Description

This historiographical study examines the transformative impact of railways on colonial Indian society from 1850 to 1920, drawing on new archival evidence and original travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi. The book challenges conventional narratives about railway development in colonial India, revealing impacts far more heterogeneous and complex than those anticipated by colonial railway builders or assumed by contemporary post-colonial scholars. By integrating primary sources from Indian travellers themselves, this work provides fresh perspectives on how railways were experienced, adopted and resisted by Indian communities during this pivotal period of technological change and colonial administration.

Key Features

Explores railway impact on colonial Indian society across seven decades from mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century operations.

Uses newly discovered archival evidence and authentic travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi languages.

Presents historiographical arguments that complicate established post-colonial interpretations of colonial railway development.

Examines the relationship between imperial technology and agency exercised by Indian communities during the colonial period.
