Originally a Ph. D. thesis in Economics of Mr. Naliknaksha Sanyal, which was approved by the University of London, this was published as a book in 1930. It is an extremely well researched document and gives a flowing picture of the conceptualisation, planning, challenges, policies and financials of the railway systm in India in the 19th century and the earlier part of the 20th century. The subject has been dealt with in an extremely easy, interesting and intelligible way for readers who wish to know about the genesis and development of the railway network in the Indian subcontinent.
