About The book: The Economic Revolution of India and the Public Works Policy by A. K. Connell, published in 1883, critically examines the British colonial approach to infrastructure development in India. Connell argues that the British administration's focus on large-scale public works, such as irrigation projects and railways, was driven by economic motives rather than genuine concern for India's welfare.
