Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the economic and strategic benefits of a transcontinental railway system in British India. The author explores how such a system would connect the main governing states by rail, as well as the military significance of such an investment. The author goes on to discuss the agricultural importance of such a system, by highlighting the cash-crop cotton trade that thrived in the region and the problems faced in transporting goods from the interior to the coast for export.
