Excerpt from A Monograph on Indian Railway Rates

The scope of the work was limited to the writing of plain state ments of facts relating to the history, policy and making of railway rates in India, so as to arrive at a correct understanding of the past history and of the present position. This is the object with which the book has been written and, therefore, any suggestions as to what action should be taken has, as far as possible, been avoided. It will now be for the Government, the Railways and the public to study the whole thing and to discuss and take action, where necessary, when normal conditions again prevail.

The publications of the Government of India, especially those of the Railway, Commerce and Industry, Geological Survey, Agricultural and Revenue, and Statistical Departments, Mr. K. L. Dutt's Report on the Enquiry into Rise of Prices in India, and the records of the Railway Board have been most useful, and quotations from them have been frequently given.
