The Indian economy has undergone dramatic changes over recent
decades encompassing episodes of rapid growth and stagnation. It is
a complex economic story that stretches back to the seismic events
of 1947. This book charts the development of the Indian economy
since independence and partition, and provides a rigorous
presentation of India's contemporary political economy. As well as
providing a comprehensive survey of the main features of the Indian
economy, the book critically examines key debates surrounding the
country's economic trajectory, in particular those that link it to
the dominance of particular class interests, and those that argue
that India's economic growth has not delivered equivalent welfare
gains. Throughout, the book uses revealing case studies of poverty
and inequality, of education, health, work and gender issues to
outline the human story behind the economic figures and performance
indicators. The economic impact of internal geography, regional
diversity and discrimination is also assessed. The distinct, and
sometimes puzzling, features of India's political economy are
explored, including the significance of the service sector, a
weakening state, and the democratic failure of public service
delivery. The book offers an authoritative overview of the
contemporary Indian economy suitable for students seeking an
introduction to this most diverse of economies.
