This volume is an overview of, and commentary on, aspects of
contemporary India and its socio-economic policies. It focuses on
India’s economy and society in recent years, and in the process it
addresses structural issues of development such as those of
population, poverty, inequality, health, and social exclusion. It
reviews the adequacy and appropriateness of governmental response to
these problems, in terms of public policy, narrowly conceived, and
philosophical orientation, more broadly conceived. The concern is not
only with economic achievement and human development but also with the
framework of civic rights, personal liberty, and institutional
autonomy within which the exercise of governance is perceived to be
carried out. The essays in this volume were originally written with
the general-reader-as-involved-citizen very much in mind as the
intended target. However, it should also be of interest to scholars of
economics, political science, development studies, and South Asian
studies.
