  The Indian Railways provides us with a practical, convenient mode of transport, but its contributionto Indian life goes much beyond that. The Railways is the lifeline of the nation and, in many ways,its development has been deeply intertwined with the destiny of India. India Junction-featuringin-depth, analytical essays that are rich in history; delectable travel pieces; and some truly amazingand rare photo features-celebrates the changes the Railways has brought about in our lives; andexamines how the Railways itself has transformed over time.

`The Great Indian Railways` takes us to 1853-the year train travel began in India-and analyseshow it strengthened British rule; `Railway Filmy Chakkar` recounts how Mahatma Gandhi,who was first opposed to the Railways, went on to effectively use it in the freedom struggle. Thetravelogues, too, are delightfully evocative, and bring to vivid life the sights and sounds of traintravel in India, some contemporary, others long consigned to memory. `When the Train Came toDeyra Dhoon` remembers the furore caused by an engine chugging into a sleepy little town for thefirst time; `On Board the Bombay Express` recreates the tangy, savoury smells that are released intothe carriage-and the keen appetites that they awaken-when women crack open the tiffin boxeswhich they have brought from home.

Featuring award-winning and renowned authors, including Sir Mark Tully, Ruskin Bond, GillianWright, Ian J. Kerr, Jerry Pinto, Omair Ahmad, Kartik Iyengar, Shoba Narayan, Sandipan Deb andSharmila Kantha, India Junction will interest readers of all hues: students of history, travel buffs,and everyone who loves a good railway yarn.
