In 'Waterways Or Railways', Frederick Tyrrell presents a compelling 19th-century debate on the future of India's transportation infrastructure. This historical work weighs the advantages and disadvantages of developing waterways versus railways for the economic and social progress of the Indian subcontinent. Tyrrell delves into the potential impact of each mode of transport on trade, agriculture, and the overall prosperity of the region.
