Dear friend, IR was back bone of Indian economy with majority its revenue more than the revenue from other sources. It had near monopoly over transport at the time of independence with 75% market share of national passenger traffic (90% of freight traffic). How ever, chronic mismanagement and political interference led to continuous erosion of its passenger traffic market share which is today as low as 10-20% (20-30% of freight traffic), with road sector (bus/other vehicles) snatching away majority of its market share.

Indian Railways bad financial management and policies aren't the only reason behind this downfall, development of other means of transportation since Independence to the current time is also the reason behind this exodus of passengers from Railways. Just compare the no. of operational Airports in our country at the time of Independence and now.

Our nation has grown/ developed a lot during 7 decades of independence, but majority of benefits have been reaped by better managed private players in the field of Road and Air modes of transport. IR was happy with marginal increment in its traffic and revenue and road sector grew leap and bounds and now traffic in air sector is also growing fast.

The better managed road and air sectors are winners and worse managed IR a loser, in spite of it being highly cost effective. So the management was so bad that
