Development of Railways during the British Raj in India and its Demographic Impact
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
World history has demonstrated that technology always acts as the primary means through which a socioeconomic development is achieved. In the present study, a detailed analysis of progress of railway technology, in both magnitude and quality, in the United Provinces for a century has been attempted. It shows in detail how this segment of technological inflow has affected the general population. One of the most significant of these effects has been found to be the breakdown of traditional mores our village societies. Periodic famine and epidemics father added to create a greater distress on the population at large. The total population shows dips on several occasions. Migration within and outside the country drained able-bodied members from the workforce of agricultural activities. Consequently, rural economy remained permanently crippled. Thus, the study can be taken to show that development of railway technology indeed didn't usher in a healthy development in the United Provinces during 1858 to 1947.
