Answer:
India was a British dominating colony and the British men wanted to use India as the source of raw material. So, to transport raw materials, a communication channel was required. To complete this task, they chose the railway as it was the best way to communicate and transport. They developed railway system as it was a source of surplus for British capital class. They were guaranteed for the 5 % return of the investment. Railway connected a large portion of the population and acted as a source of persecution. Moreover, the railway also had a bright side and acted as a support for the population of India because it helped people to travel to different places. It also helped in the freedom fight to a wide stretch.
