▪️ The earliest suggestion to build a railway in India was made in Madras in 1831.
▪️ Lord Dalhousie, who became Governor-General of India in 1849, was an ardent advocate of rapid railway construction. Hence statement 3 is correct.
▪️ Railways in India developed in three phases-
Phase 1 (1853-1869):
- Railways were built by private companies who were guaranteed a minimum of five per cent return on their capital. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
Phase 2 (1869-1880)
- Private companies proved very costly and slow, thus in 1869 Britishers decided to build new railways as a state enterprise.
Phase 3 (After 1880):
- After 1880, railways were built through private enterprise as well as through state agencies.
▪️The railway lines were laid primarily with a view to linking India's raw material producing areas in the interior with the ports of export. At no stage of railway development, the economic and political development of India and her people was considered. Hence statement 1 is not correct.
