Railways were the most important infrastructure development in India from 1850 to 1947.
They were inter-connected with all aspects of Indian society. In terms of the economy,
railways played a major role in integrating markets and increasing trade. Domestic and
international economic trends shaped the pace of railway construction and the demand for the
important traffic flows to the ports. In terms of politics, railways shaped the finances of the
colonial government and the Princely States. At the same time, Indian political institutions
influenced railway ownership and policy, which in turn influenced railway performance. As
the twentieth century progressed, railways became a force for independence and democracy.
