    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

    1 Bombay and Lahore. Colonial Railways and Colonial Cities: Some Urban Consequences of the Development and Operation of Railways in India, c. 1850-c. 1947 by Ian J. Kerr Two images, two railway stations, frame this presentation: the first is Victoria Terminus in Bombay; the second is the station in Lahore. Many aspects of the post-1850 histories of Bombay and Lahore were deeply affected by the development and operation of the railways of colonial India. Each station, so different one from the other, tells us something about the history of each city and their railways; different histories, different growth trajectories within a shared context defined by British colonial rule in South Asia and the development of a system of colonial railways. Lahore is discussed later in the paper. I begin with Bombay. Victoria Terminus is shown in figure 1 below. Commonly known as VT in a semiotic shift indicative of appropriation and familiarity, it opened in 1887 after nearly a decade of construction. This magnificent building ranks among the world’s great railway stations.1 Designed by its architect, F.W. Stevens, in what is sometimes labelled an Indo-Italian Secular Gothic style and echoing some elements of London’s St. Pancras Station Hotel, Victoria Terminus dominated the cityscape of late 19th century central Bombay; it remains a formidable presence in the early years of the 21st century despite a cityscape now dotted with skyscrapers. Over 2 million passengers pass daily through the sumptuous interior with its marble floors, stained glass windows, and a great staircase lined with Corinthian columns of polished granite from Aberdeen, Scotland—a staircase that provided access to the upper- level, headquarter offices of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company (hereafter GIP), and now its successor, the Central Division of the world’s fourth-longest (38,500 route miles) railway system and, at 1.75 million employees, the world’s largest, single-enterprise employer: the state-owned and state-operated Indian Railways.
