A chapter in Development Challenges of India After Twenty Five Years of Economic Reforms, 2020, pp 157-181 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The fact that India confronts massive challenges of employment and livelihoods is clearly evident from the relevant literature on the subject. The progress on these was hardly impressive during the first four decades after Independence from the British colonial rule, but the overall situation appears to have gone from bad to worse during approximately the last three decades of so-called economic reforms. And indeed, the last quinquennium appears to be a disastrous phase as per all the available data sources. The focus of this paper is on some of the critical issues, with respect to the above-noted themes in contemporary India, while locating these, very briefly, in the architecture of some of the major features of contemporary global capitalism, and India’s own context of neo-liberalism.
