Answer

The introduction of modern innovations such as railways and telegraphs was misunderstood by the people. They thought that the telegraph poles were erected to hang people who were against the British rule. Similarly, the orthodox Indians noted that in the railway compartments the higher castes and the lower castes were made to sit side by side. They believed that the British had introduced such practices to defy their caste and religion.
