Answer:

During the colonial period in India, the basic infrastructure such as water transport, railways, post & telegraph, and ports were developed, but to serve the colonial interest rather than serving the common people. Road constructed were not fit for modern India, couldn’t connect rural areas, and shortage of well-constructed road, especially in the rainy season, was the drawback.

However, in the year 1850, the introduction of the railway was one of the most important contributions of the British. This initiative transformed the Indian economy in two ways. One it led people to travel a long distance and break the geographical barrier and second it commercialized Indian agriculture which adversely influenced the self-sufficiency of the village economies in India.

With the development of railways and roads, the colonial regulation also took steps for improvement of the sea lanes and inland trade. However, for the postal services, though it was useful assistance for the society, it remained insufficient.
