India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, an Empire
that needed a rail network to facilitate its exploitation and
reflect its ambition. But, by building India's railways, Britain
radically changed the nation and unwittingly planted the seed of
independence. As Indians were made to travel in poor conditions and
were barred from the better paid railway jobs a stirring of
resentment and nationalist sentiment grew. The Indian Railways
network remains one of the largest in the world, serving over 25
million passengers each day. In this expertly told history,
Christian Wolmar reveals the full story, from the railway's
beginnings to the present day, and examines the chequered role this
institution has played in Indian history and the creation of
today's modern state.
