Overview of Indian Railways: The Weaving of a National Tapestry Book

The fascinating story of the network that made modern IndiaThe railways brought modernity to India. Its vast network connected the far corners of the subcontinent, making travel, communication and commerce simpler than ever before.

This latest volume in The Story of Indian Business series will delight anyone interested in finding out more about the Indian Railways.
