Answer 2

Answer:

The Railways affected the structure of the Indian economy in two important ways:

Explanation:

1. It enabled people to undertake long distance travel and thereby break geographical and cultural barriers.

2. It fostered commercialization of Indian agriculture which adversely affected the self-sufficiency of the village economies in India.

3.  The volume of India’s exports undoubtedly expanded but its benefits rarely accrued to the Indian people. The social benefits, which the Indian people gained owing to the introduction of the railways, were thus outweighed by the country’s huge economic loss.
