How has India’s economy fared over the first seventy-years of the country’s independence? More specifically, how has India’s economic journey impacted the life of the Indian citizen? Have the various economic measures and reforms since 1947 improved or worsened matters for the people? These are the core issues addressed within this concise and accessible book. Given India’s large population, there has always been great interest internationally in the steps taken to shape the country’s economy and its consequent advance. The country, says Pulapre Balakrishnan, has undoubtedly progressed. It is now self-sufficient in food, industrially capable, and globally recognised for its software services.
