Answers
Answer:
If KRUTHIKA argues on the point, “Railways in India were built only for the benefit of the people by colonial rulers”. Then it would be difficult to raise a point against this fact as this is true
1. Railways in India weren't built for the benifit of the people by the colonial rulers.
2. The main purpose was to shift the mineral resources to the nearby seaports, they built the Railways.
3. If we observe major railway lines laid by the colonial rulers they laid rail routes directly to the seaport areas only.
4. Before introduction of Railways our transport system was very backward.
5. In 1853 first railway line was established from Bombay to Thane.
6. Even though Railways were introduced by the Britishers for their own benefit, but it is no useful to us transport in the goods from one place to another place.
