Book Description
Excerpt from India's Demand for Transportation Much is being written and spoken from public plat forms in India, chiefly by Indian students of economics and politics, in favor of retrenchment in railway construc tion. Some decry the breaking up of the village unit and the consequent destruction of the old domestic industries. Others feel that railways have made possible the exporta tion of wheat and so have contributed to the rise in the prices of wheat in India. The more thoughtful of the con servatives admit that railways have been a blessing to the country, but are of the opinion that the expenditure of funds for railways should be greatly decreased and the money turned into other channels; e. G., expended for edu cation or irrigation, or to subsize other industries. The writer, during his residence of more than eight years in India, has often felt that many of those who oppose the expansion of the transportation system, have done so with out a comprehensive understanding of the country's need. It was with this thought in mind, and at the suggestion of H. Stanley Jevons, University Professor of Economics at Allahabad, that this study was undertaken.
