In the first in-depth analysis of representations of the Indian railway, Marian Aguiar interprets modernity through the legacy of this transformative technology.Since the colonial period in India, the railway has been idealized as a rational utopiau?a moving box in which racial and class differences might be amalgamated under a civic, secular, and public order.
