Railways in Modern India

by Ian J. Kerr (editor)

Part of the Themes in Indian History series, this valuable book reprints important writings on India's railway history. A substantial introduction places the sections in their historical and historiographical contexts, while the body of the work identifies neglected topics and outlines a new
approach to the study of Indian railways. It will greatly appeal to scholars and students as well as to the general reader of Indian history.
