This excerpt is adapted from British historian, J. A. R., Marriott's book, The English in India, 1932.
British brains, British enterprise, and British capital have changed the face of India. Means of communication have been developed. There are great numbers of bridges, more than 40,000 miles of railway, and 70,000 miles of paved roads. These testify to the skill and industry of
British engineers. Irrigation works on a very large scale have brought 30 million acres under cultivation. This has greatly added to the agricultural wealth of the country. Industrialization has also begun. India now has improved sanitation and a higher standard of living. It has a
fine transport system and carefully thought-out schemes for relief work. Because of these things famines have now almost disappeared.
