Meghna Thapar 5 years, 5 months ago

Railways led to increased agricultural output, export of food-grains, widening of markets, commercialization of agriculture, and, hence, cropping pattern. As railways widened the markets for the agricultural sectors, Indian agriculture became linked to the world trade cycles. 

In India, railways was introduced by Britishers in 1850. It affected the structure of the Indian economy in many ways:
(i) It enabled people to undertake long distance travel and thereby break geographical and cultural barriers.
(ii) It fostered commercialisation on Indian agriculture which adversely affected the self¬sufficiency in the village economies of India.
