- W2257576696 abstract "This work studies railroad landscape of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIP) as a symbol of imperial power in India. The GIP was India’s first railroad, built in the mid-19th century in order to set up an export economy in raw cotton. Cotton was an urgently needed raw material, required for spinning and weaving machines in a rapidly industrializing Britain. Following suspension of American supplies in the wake of the American Civil War of 1861-65, Britain increasingly turned to India to fulfill this need. Railroad building was an outcome of this. Even though India had the potential to supply large quantities of cotton to match the level of supplies provided by America, it lacked modern means of transportation. A technology such as the railroad could allow the cotton growing interior regions of western India to be connected to the port of Mumbai and rapidly develop the necessary export trade. Thus animated by the desire to make western India a suitable landscape for cotton exports and railroad building, merchants in Lancashire lobbied the British Parliament, eventually forming the GIP Railway Company in 1849." @default.
