Metcalf, Chair Emeritus Professor David W. Cohen Associate Professor Stuart Kirsch Associate Professor Christi Merrill 1 "Unknown to me the wounds of the famine of 1943, the barbarities of war, the horror of the communal riots of 1946 were impinging on my style and engraving themselves on it, till there came a time when whatever I did, whether it was chiseling a piece of wood, or burning metal with acid to create a gaping hole, or cutting and tearing with no premeditated design, it would throw up innumerable wounds, bodying forth a single theme - the figures of the deprived, the destitute and the abandoned converging on us from all directions.

  • 7392P Q16 IMPERIAL TECHNOLOGY-PT.Qxp Royal a 156 X 234 Mm Times New Roman
    Imperial Technology and ‘Native’ Agency This book explores the impact of railways on colonial Indian society from the commencement of railway operations in the mid-nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century. The book represents a historiographical departure. Using new archival evidence as well as travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi, this book suggests that the impact of railways on colonial Indian society were more heterogeneous and complex than anticipated either by India’s colonial railway builders or currently assumed by post-colonial scholars. At a related level, the book argues that this complex outcome of the impact of railways on colonial Indian society was a product of the interaction between the colonial context of technology transfer and the Indian railway passengers who mediated this process at an everyday level. In other words, this book claims that the colonised ‘natives’ were not bystanders in this process of imposition of an imperial technology from above. On the contrary, Indians, both as railway passengers and otherwise influenced the nature and the direction of the impact of an oft-celebrated ‘tool of Empire’. The historiographical departures suggested in the book are based on examining railway spaces as social spaces – a methodological index influenced by Henri Lefebvre’s idea of social spaces as means of control, domination and power.

  • HISTORY of Bengal Nagpur Railway
    HISTORY South Eastern Railway had its humble origin in Chhatisgarh State Railway way back in 1882 comprising of a Metre Gauge (MG) railway line from Nagpur to Rajnandgaon(149 miles) with its HQ at Nagpur. The construction of the line was prompted by a desire of the then Govt. of Central province to provide quick transportation of food grain from the Chhatisgarh region to other parts as a step to prevent famine. The Bengal Nagpur Railway Company, popularly known as BNR after its formation in 1887 took over Chhatisgarh State Railway. It converted the MG line into Broad Gauge and extended it to Asansol in the erstwhile East Indian Railway (EIR). By 1891 BNR embraced within its fold the entire main line from Nagpur to Sini via Bilaspur and further to Asansol via Purulia as well as the extended Katni‐ Umaria line upto Bilaspur. The Sini‐Calcutta line extended upto Cuttack was opened for traffic in 1899 and in 1901 BNR took over the line from Cuttack to Visakhapatnam under East Coast railway which was then a State railway. The headquarter of BNR was built at Garden Reach, Kolkata in 1908 and shifted from Nagpur. The growth story of BNR continued and the Raipur‐Vizianagaram link was completed in 1931. The BNR company was brought under the Govt. of India control in 1944. The Narrow gauge (NG) line from Naupada to Parlakhimndi of the Paralakhimndi State railways and the NG line from Rupsa to Baripada of the Mayurbhanj State railways that were a part of the company were merged with the Govt.

  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    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.

S.OMALLEY OF THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE FELLOW OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY AND OF THE ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE Cambridge: at the University Press 1917 EDITOR'S PREFACE N 1910, when I was asked by the Cambridge University I Press to suggest a suitable sub-division of the Indian Empire into natural geographical units for treatment in separate volumes, J. was embarrassed by the fact that the Province of Bengal, as it had been known for many years before 1905, was then restricted, for administrative con­ venience, to the western three-quarters of the old province, the eastern districts having been lumped with Assam to form the Lieut.-Governorship of Eastern Bengal and Assam. To find an author who could give, in true per­ spective and as the result of personal intimacy an outline sketch of two such dissimilar units as old Bengal and Assam seemed to be impossible; and thus it was decided, in spite of the obvious disadvantages, especially in nomen­ clature, to cut off Assam, which differed so greatly from the rest of the new province of Eastern Bengal, leaving to the ingenuity of the author the problem of designing for the residual area a geographical name that was sufficiently expressive without clashing with the new official nomenclature.

  • Railway Budget 2012-2013
    Budget 2012-2013 Speech of Dinesh Trivedi Minister of Railways March 14, 2012 Madam Speaker, 1. I rise to present the Railway Budget for 2012-13. 2. I consider it a great privilege for me to head the strong and vibrant railway family and present my maiden Railway Budget which is also the first year of the 12th Five Year Plan. I am grateful to the Hon'ble Prime Minister for his inspiring guidance and support in formulating the Budget. 3. I am also grateful to the Hon’ble Finance Minister and the UPA Chairperson, Smt. Sonia Gandhi for their support. It would not have been possible for me to present this budget had I not received the support and confidence of my party, All India Trinamool Congress, and its chairperson, Mamata Banerjee, to whom I shall always remain grateful. Above all, I am grateful to as it is only because of their blessings that I have been able to make it to this Parliament. , . 4. Madam Speaker, when I look at the list of illustrious leaders of this country who had donned the mantle of Indian Railways right from Sh. Asaf Ali to Sh. Lal Bahadur Shastri, to Sh. Jagjivan Ram ji, to Sh. Gulzari Lal Nanda, Sh. Kamalapati Tripathi, Sh. Madhu Dandavate to Mamata Banerjee, I find myself nowhere near their stature. But I have certainly tried to take lessons from the pages of history and from their contribution to this great institution. I am grateful to Mamata Banerjee for giving vision to railways in her Vision 2020 document, which has guided me immensely in framing the roadmap for carrying forward the task.

  • Audit of Railway Finance and Appropriation Accounts with the Systematized Training Documents for Continuous Training of Officers and Staff Working in Railway Audit
    STRUCTURED Training Manual On Audit Of Finance and APPROPRIATION ACCOUNTS OF Railways Regional Training Institute, Kolkata CGO Complex, (5th Floor, A-Wing), DF Block Salt Lake, Kolkata-70064 June, 2014 Preface Structured Training Manual on Audit of Finance and Appropriation Accounts of Railways Training Need: In view of Railway organization’s huge net work with multiple activities and procedural diversities in different Departments and units of the Indian Railways the accounting systems and set up are also different. The Railways in India are as much as Government concern as well as commercial enterprise as they are engaged in manufacturing and in selling of transport services thus earning profits, maintaining its own assets and paying interest (i.e. dividend) to the General Revenues. The Government Accounts are kept purely on cash basis whereas the accounts of the Railways are kept on accrual basis. While the Railway is required to keep the records, prepare and present the reports in commercial terms it has also to feed the information to Government in the format prescribed for that. Therefore, the Railway has to maintain various accounts and records for meeting the requirements of both. It is, therefore, necessary to equip the Railway Audit offices to conduct audit of Railway finance and Appropriation Accounts with the systematized training documents for continuous training of officers and staff working in Railway Audit. Hence, this Structured Training Manual has been prepared to cope up with the situation. Aim: The training will equip the participants with adequate knowledge of the Accounting Structure of Railways and various types of accounts/statements and documents prepared to reflect the financial picture of the Railways.

  • (EIR)'S First Train Ran from Howrah to Hoog
    EASTERN RAILWAY – A BRIEF PROFILE Genesis On 15 th August 1854, East Indian Railway (EIR)’s first train ran from Howrah to Hooghly, a distance of 24 miles. Regular services were introduced from that day, with stops at Bally, Serampore and Chandannagore. In 1862, EIR extended upto the west bank of Yamuna on its way to Delhi. In 1864, in a bid to connect Calcutta and Delhi, trains started running between the two cities without any bridge on Yamuna by ferrying the coaches on boats across the river at Allahabad. In 1865 the Yamuna Bridge at Allahabad opened. In 1867 EIR branch line extended from Allahabad to Jubbalpore. After the Government of India took over the management of EIR in 1925, it was splitted into six divisions — Howrah, Asansol and Dinapore known as the lower divisions and Allahabad, Lucknow and Moradabad known as the upper divisions. Eastern Railway (ER) was formed on 14 th April, 1952 by integration of the East Indian Railway (EIR) consisting of Sealdah, Howrah, Asansol and Danapur Divisions and the entire Bengal – Nagpur Railway (BNR). The jurisdiction of ER extended from Howrah to Mughalsarai in the North, upto Visakhapatnam in the South and upto Nagpur in the Central area. The three Upper divisions of E.I.R. were added to Northern Railway. Later, the portions of BNR stretching from Howrah to Visakhapatnam in the South, Howrah to Nagpur in the Central area and upto Katni in the North Central Region were separated from Eastern Railway and formed as “South Eastern Railway” with effect from 1st August 1955.
