The chapter does not discuss Indian Railways, which is the largest railway network in the world. Indian Railways is the worlds ninth largest employer. In 2013-14, IR carried 8,425 million passengers annually or more than 23 million passengers daily (roughly half of which were suburban passengers ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_railways source Wikipedia])

The chapter contains useful information, it can add 'understanding/application' ideas with the content. For eg. instead of mentioning that 'Bombay port is called the Gateway of India', we can discuss why Bombay port is called the Gateway of India?

There is also a small arch constructed near the harbour, which is called the Gateway of India
