The first link provides a good example of what is called "bass-ackward thinking" in polite circles... :-) So, the largest employer is Indian Railways, eh? FYI, the second largest employer is probably State Bank of India, and compared to the major banks of the world, that is about the only thing they are good at -- providing jobs by the millions. Forget about their other numbers, OK?! ;-) They probably won't figure even in the top 500 banks of the world. And speaking of numbers... the movies of India! A better illustration of why quantity doesn't matter when quality is non-existent, I cannot find! At least the movies of the 50s and the 60s were imitations of contemporary British and Hollywood productions (and therefore, at least tolerable, even if amateurish). Present-day Indian movies are, with rare exceptions, truly pathetic. As for "mica blocks and splits" and jute, gimme a break! This deserves a million ROFLOLs! :-) Who in HELL cares about those things? If jute was a big deal, then Bangladesh wouldn't be at the bottom rung of the economic ladder today, no?! :-) And finally, about Qutub Minar and Kharagpur, please don't tell the Saffron-langot-clad crowd about them, OK? (I could have said, "your Saffron-langot-clad friends", but I am giving you the benefit of doubt). Because you see, the former was built by Muslims and the latter by India's "evil" British rulers! Dipy.
