Chapter 1 in The Indian Economy Sixty Years After Independence, 2008, pp 1-3 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The rapid growth of the Indian economy and the impressive structural transformation that has accompanied it are phenomena of monumental importance to our times. Indian economic reforms which had tentative and hesitant beginnings in the mid 1980s accelerated in the early 1990s and have never looked back. The fruits of such reforms are now evident in the distinctly higher trend rate of growth of the economy, the wide base and stability of such growth and the immensely large canvas of opportunities manifested, among other things by an increasing readiness to both cooperate and compete with the external world, now open to India’s young population.
