The book represents a historiographical departure. Using new archival evidence as well as travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi, this book suggests that the impact of railways on colonial Indian society were more heterogeneous and complex than anticipated either by India's colonial railway builders or currently assumed by post-colonial scholars.RailroadsSocial aspectsIndiaHistoryRailroad travelSocial aspectsIndiaHistoryIndiaCivilization1765-1947IndiaHistoryBritish occupation, 1765-1947RailroadsSocial aspectsHistory.Railroad travelSocial aspectsHistory.385.0954/09034Mukhopadhyay Aparajita944243MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910280874803321Imperial Technology and 'Native' Agency2131614UNINA
