Description

Explore a fresh perspective on Indian history with this scholarly work from Routledge. Imperial Technology and 'Native' Agency: A Social History of Railways in Colonial India, 1850-1920 examines how railway operations changed society from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. This book offers a significant departure from traditional historical views. By utilizing new archival evidence and unique travelogues written by Indian railway travelers in Bengali and Hindi, the text provides a deeper look into the social landscape of the era. It challenges existing assumptions held by both colonial builders and post-colonial scholars. Readers will find a detailed analysis of how the railway impact was more complex and heterogeneous than previously thought. This makes it a valuable resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the social history of colonial India and the technological shifts that shaped the region.
