BANGALORE: 'The Land of Spices', India, was ruled by the British for nearly 200 years during which the country lost its status as the richest country having the world's largest economy. But one of the gifts they gave this country was railroads. Railroads were primarily introduced to serve the British interests because they needed an easier mode of transportation to shift their goods. Now railways have become the most popularly used form of transportation. The rail network in India is the 4th longest and heavily used transport system as it is cheap, fast and convenient. Here are some of the largest railway stations in that serve the Indian public.
