It is to be observed that none of these pioneering<br />

countries belong to Asia, Africa or South America, and<br />

none except Hungary belongs to the "Balka... -::omplex.",<br />

During the first quarter of a century of the world's<br />

railway industry India is accordingly unknown as a<br />

factor ~ The railway origins of certain countries since<br />

1850 are described below:<br />

1 1851 Brazil 6 1857 Argentina<br />

.. .India thus begins 28 years after Great Britain, 25<br />

years· after France, 18 years after Germany and 14<br />

years after Italy. In so far as the technical primitiveness<br />

of mankind such as is manifest in the absence of railways<br />

is concerned, we get- the following socio~economic<br />

equations:<br />

India (1852)=Great Britain (1824)<br />

=U. S.A. (1826)<br />

=France (1827)<br />

=Germany (1834)<br />

=Russia (1837)<br />

= Italy (1838)
