Volume II

‘Professor Raghbendra Jha is the right scholar and economist to take readers through the
development of the Indian economy. Readers will be in good hands.’
—Edmund Phelps, Columbia University, USA,
winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics

‘This two-volume study on India’s economy and society by Professor Raghbendra Jha
skilfully combines high quality analytical scholarship, and nuanced exposition of empiri-
cal evidence to bear on India’s development policies and challenges. As linking of econ-
omy and society is increasingly recognised as essential for addressing policy challenges
by the current phase of globalisation, this study should be valuable not just for those
studying India, but also for those interested in global developments.’
—Mukul Asher, National University of Singapore, Singapore

‘Over the years, I have benefited from reading the works of Professor Raghbendra Jha,
and from teaching from them. I enthusiastically recommend these two volumes to you.’
—Raaj Kumar Sah, University of Chicago, USA

‘It is perhaps the best and most scholarly contribution to understanding the Indian econ-
omy and society. Its rich historical perspective and a profound understanding of how India
has evolved into a major economic power set standards of scholarship and analytical rigour
that will be hard to surpass.’
—Raghav Gaiha, University of Manchester, UK

‘India is critical for the world. Knowing India is vital. This book is a tour-de-force review
of the fundamental topics on the Indian political economy and society that are relevant
for any committed social scientist to be aware of. Raghbendra Jha is one of the lead-
ing contemporary India scholars globally, and he has conscientiously put together the
materials in a careful and structured way that will find substantial and immediate user
acceptance worldwide.’

 Preface

These two volumes cover aspects of Indian economy and society. They
take a long view of both and try to position them on a broad cultural and
historical canvas. These are the most important characteristics that distin-
guish this work from the vast amount of literature that exists on India.
India has a continuing cultural history spanning about 7000 years.
The whole country shares some key beliefs and practices that have sur-
vived internal challenges and encounters with hostile external civiliza-
tions over several millennia. In the process, a composite culture has also
grown, testifying to India’s ability to absorb and assimilate external ideas
and practices in a largely peaceful manner, even when those ideas and
practices are imposed in aggressive fashion.
Even since attaining Independence on August 15, 1947, and declaring
itself a democratic republic on January 26, 1950, India has faced a mul-
titude of problems of a scale and intensity that would test the most
mature of societies. These challenges included intense mass poverty and
hunger; poor literacy and lack of education in the population; the task of
uniting a country with scores of languages and ethnicities ruled by differ-
ent entities for decades; and the persistent threat of external aggression,
to name just a few. At a deeper level, India has had to regain its self-­
confidence and rediscover its ancient cultural moorings in order to define
the kind of nation it wants to be in the future. Unlike India’s large and

vii
viii Preface

powerful neighbor to the north, the country chooses to address its chal-
lenges within a pluralistic democratic framework.
The present work is an attempt to give an account of how India has
been meeting these challenges and how things are expected to evolve in
the future. This is a hopelessly difficult task to accomplish in its entirety
within the confines of two volumes; therefore, I concentrate on key
aspects of India’s economy and society, hence the title of the book. These
volumes constitute a narrative—my narrative—on India’s economic and
social development, and do not profess to be complete or exhaustive.
They are meant to introduce the reader to the vast amount of literature
on this subject. That said, these volumes are written on a simple level,
which students (both graduate and undergraduate) of social sciences and
also the general reader can use to learn about India.
The selection of topics has been made with this in mind. This work has
been divided into two volumes. Volume I is entitled Facets of India’s
Economy and Her Society: Recent Economic and Social History and Political
Economy. Part I, of volume I is entitled “India’s Economy in Historical
and Spatial Perspective.” This presents a long view of the performance of
the Indian economy, and then discusses key aspects of India’s population,
land and labor. It then discusses human development in India. The
impact of Muslim rule is considered, after which the state of the Indian
economy under British rule is discussed. The shape of the Indian econ-
omy and society were deeply affected by India’s struggle for freedom, so
one chapter is devoted to providing an account of India’s struggle for
freedom.
Part II, called “Basic Structure of India’s Governance” contains two
chapters dealing with India’s political economy. The first deals with the
Indian Constitution and basic structure of governance whereas the sec-
ond provides a brief overview of major economic and political develop-
ments in independent India.
Volume II, entitled Facets of India’s Economy and Her Society: Current
State and Future Prospects, has three parts. Part I, “Principal Sectors of the
Indian Economy,” contains three chapters. These discuss, seriatim, the
performance and prospects for India’s agriculture, manufacturing and
services sectors.
 Preface
   ix

Part II, “Emerging Issues in India’s Economy,” consists of four chap-

ters. The first discusses India’s links with the external world through
international trade, investment, migration and remittances. Since the
onset of major economic reforms in 1991, regional inequality across
Indian states has gone up. Hence, the following chapter discusses the
evolution of regional inequality in India and the role of indirect tax
reform and vertical fiscal transfers. A discussion of the newly instituted
goods and services tax is also included. The next chapter discusses India’s
performance in education and health services and suggests some policy
initiatives in these areas. The last chapter in Part II overviews the state of
the environment in the country.
Part III, “Some Aspects of India’s Society and Prospects for the Future,”
comprises three chapters. The first of these discusses gender issues. The
second chapter considers intercommunity relations and the last chapter
looks ahead at future prospects for India.
When writing about the economy and society of a country as complex
as India, it is important to remember that it represents a continuing
ancient culture, that is, Hindu civilization. Indeed, this is the dominant
reason for India’s cultural unity, even during those times when the coun-
try did not constitute one sovereign geographical entity and faced con-
tinuous assault from hostile invaders and settlers. This cultural continuity
has had deep influences on, among others, social relations, laws, attitudes
toward science, progress, policy and people’s response to economic incen-
tives. Hence, this volume will often allude to cultural issues and Hindu
scriptures. To accomplish this, I have studied and attempted to absorb
much of the major Hindu scriptures and dwelled on them. I have also
studied Shri Guru Granth Sahib—the holy book of the Sikhs. In this
process, I was surprised to learn that much of what has been advanced as
religious practice is actually gross aberration. It is my conviction that
overlooking the true tenets of India’s civilization and concentrating on
the aberrations, as some treatises on the economics and politics of India
have done, do not help our understanding of developments in the coun-
try. We cannot discuss a country with an ancient culture that is even now
at the core of the country’s civilization by ignoring this culture.
Thus, when writing a work such as this, it helps if the author can have
a broad perspective and an understanding of the history and traditions of
x Preface

the country. This is what my former professor at Columbia University,

Ronald Findlay, told me when he was visiting my department in the
Australian National University in 2012. He had confidence that I had
these two characteristics and thus encouraged me to write such a book. I
would argue that my early education in India, and later teaching experi-
ence in various leading economics educational institutions (Delhi School
of Economics, Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore and Indira
Gandhi Institute of Development Research) in India, and working on
topics related to the Indian economy have always kept me linked to my
roots. At the same time, my long experience in teaching in the USA
(Columbia University and Williams College), Canada (Queen’s
University), Australia (Australian National University) and the UK
(University of Warwick) have, I hope, provided me with the distance and
the perspective needed to view issues in India objectively.
Having completed these volumes, I now realize that I could not have
done so without a lifetime of reading and introspection and meaningful
dialogue with people who have wide experience and expertise. As a result,
I have run up a long list of debts. First and foremost, I should like to
thank my dear wife, Alka, who has long been an excellent sounding board
for my ideas and has contributed much to the substance and the argu-
ments made in this volume. Her contributions to this book and to our
life together have been truly immeasurable and I cannot express my
thanks enough. Suffice it to say that she and our dear son, Abhay, have
made the task of writing this book an absolute delight. I should also like
to thank my many friends, current and former students, and collabora-
tors who have influenced my thinking on the issues discussed in this
book and helped in other ways. I shall mention only a few of them here.
These friends include Sures Jain, K.V. Bhanu Murthy, Anurag Sharma,
Ashima Goyal, Gerald Epstein, L. Sridharan, Tulsi Tawari, Raghav Gaiha,
Hari Nagarajan, Duc Nguyen Truong, Nguyen Hieu, Hai Anh La, Tu
Dang, (the late) D.P. Chaudhuri, and (the late) Ashok Seth. The com-
ments of anonymous referees were helpful. The stimulating and support-
ive working conditions at Arndt-Corden Department of Economics,
Australian National University, have been invaluable in helping me to
design and complete this work.
 Preface
   xi

I should like to take this opportunity to thank and honor Edmund

S. Phelps, my PhD supervisor at Columbia University. Prof. Phelps, a
Nobel Laureate and arguably one of the most imaginative economists of
our times, taught me to appreciate that at a deep level economics is about
human beings. Hence, our analysis must embody not only scientific pre-
cision but also a strong concern for the people to whom this analysis is
addressed.
This is the fourth time I have published with Palgrave Macmillan and,
as in the past, it has been a pleasure to work with them. Laura Pacey,
economics editor, has been very helpful with her time and advice from
the initial inception of this work. Clara Heathcock and other staff at
Palgrave have been most generous in addressing all issues and responding
to all queries.
This work has covered considerable ground, from history to politics to
culture, arts, societal affairs and, most prominently, economics. Perhaps
proper justice has not been done to all of these areas, but I would argue
that adequate justice for so many topics is probably impossible to deliver
in one book. Nevertheless, I have tried to build up a cogent argument
linking all of them, but shortcomings will remain. To quote the legendary
nineteenth-century Urdu poet, Ghalib Mirza Asadullah Khan:

Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle

Bohat niklay mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle.
[Thousands of desires, each worth dying for
many of them I have realized yet I yearn for more.]

I hope readers find these volumes stimulating reading.
