This book describes and analyzes the transformation of Indian
economy taking into account historical changes and present dynamics
of the rural-urban nexus. India has recently experienced a period
as a high-performing economy, with the great improvement of indices
of human development, including literacy rates, life expectancy,
child mortality rates and others. In contrast to this bright
outlook, features such as the retarded growth of women's average
height, the noticeable gap between male and female population, the
overwhelming proportion of informal employment in the manufacturing
sector, or increasing pollution overshadow India's future, in some
cases pose a threat to lifestyle and environment. Examining the
rural-urban nexus where the new transformative dynamics of Indian
socio-economy is most conspicuous, the contributors to this book
shed light on the actual changes taking place at the bottom of
Indian society through regional comparisons and spatial
differentiation. The book offers unique perspectives on the topic
produced mostly by Japanese scholars, including analysis of
original data, that have hitherto been unavailable and inaccessible
to an international audience. As the first book published on the
rural-urban nexus in India, this book will be of interest to
researchers studying South Asian History, Economics, Politics,
Geography, Sociology and Anthropology, Development Studies and
Economic History.
