Episode 15: The Raj and Railways Pt. 1

Hello and welcome to the fifteenth episode of India Colonised, a podcast where we unravel our colonial roots through stories and legends. Our podcast explores untraversed fields of our past that constantly shape our world. I am your host Omer Haq and today we will be talking about the railways, one of the most embodied facets of English colonialism in India. The railways aptly called ‘India's nervous system’, was aimed to serve a different purpose than it does today. This topic has been broken into two segments to help cover the subject better.
