- SECOND STAGE OF DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION.
Explanation:
In 1869, the Suez Canal was opened, greatly reducing the distance between Britain and India by some 4,500 miles as ships no longer needed to travel round southern Africa.
Second Stage
During this period, India witnessed decline in death rates. The decline was possible since the major causes of mortality such as the famines and epidemics were brought under control. However, the decline in death rates increased the population growth rates of the country, especially between 1921 and 1951.
1907: Tata Iron & Steel Co Ltd established by Jamsetji Tata.
Railways were first introduced to India in 1853. By 1947, the year of India's independence, there were forty-two rail systems. In 1951 the systems were nationalised as one unit, becoming one of the largest networks in the world.

4. Incorporation of the Tata Iron and Steel Company
