The Journey Through Colonial India: Trains, Trade, and Resistance

"A cinematic 3D animation starting with a vast view of colonial-era India, dusty railway tracks cutting through lush fields. A steam train with the British flag rushes past poor Indian villagers working on the tracks in the heat. Cut to British officers in crisp uniforms overseeing cargo being loaded—cotton, spices, gold—onto the train at a colonial port. Shift to a map animation showing rail lines radiating out from British trade cities like Bombay and Calcutta. Then, a quick montage of soldiers boarding trains, suppressing protests, followed by Indian freedom fighters secretly using the same trains to organize resistance. End with a powerful contrast: a modern Indian train with the national flag soaring through the same land, fading into the question, 'Was it built for India… or for Empire?' Text overlays, dramatic lighting, and intense background music throughout."
