answered-by-expert Expert Answer

The British government developed modern means of transport and communication for economic exploitation, administrative convenience and military defense. A large network of roads was constructed followed by the laying down of the first railway line in 1853, linking Mumbai with Thane. In subsequent years, a large network of railway lines was laid across vast areas of the Indian hinterland. Besides encouraging trade and commerce, it also made it easier for political activists to travel across the country. The development of the modern postal system and the introduction of telegraph also helped to unify the country to a great extent. Both these effectively revolutionised the process of information transmission and communication and helped Indians come in greater contact with one another.
