agricultural growth. To them the proper railway policy was one that promoted Indian industry and a proper public works policy that gave priority to irrigation and
agriculture.

railroads made it possible for peasant villagers to undertake quick pilgrimages (within a few days or less) during their brief respites [relief] from the demands of
agriculture. The hard backbone of British colonial rule in India, the British soldier and his weaponry, could be quartered in fewer places in the knowledge that the
railroads could transport troops rapidly to trouble spots. The publications of what became the outpourings of many presses owned by Indians and printed in Indian
languages and in English found profitable markets. The railroads, synergistically [mutually] cooperating with the post office, facilitated the inexpensive, bulk shipments
of books, magazines, and newspapers...
