Future Of India by Bimal Jalan
As Recently As A Decade Ago The Prospect Of India Becoming A Developed Country Any Time Soon Seemed A Distant Possibility. Since Then However There Has Been A Sea Change In Our Own And The World'S Perception About Our Future. What Explains This Rising Tide Of Optimism? And How Far Is It Justified? In The Future Of India Bimal Jalan Former Governor Of The Reserve Bank Of India Takes Up The Formidable Challenge Of Examining The Nuts And Bolts Of This Proposition. In His Thought-Provoking Clear-Sighted Analysis He Argues That It Is The Interface Between Politics Economics And Governance And Their Combined Effect On The Functioning Of Our Democracy Which Will Largely Determine India'S Future. An Understanding Of This Interface Will Help Explain The Swings In India'S Political And Economic Fortunes Over The Past Decades And Why The Promise Has Been Belied. In The Light Of Experience Argues Jalan There Is No Certainty That The Present Euphoria Will Last Unless There Is The Political Will To Seize The New Opportunities That Are Available. He Proceeds To Suggest Steps That Can Be Taken To Smoothen Our Path To Progress Ways To Strengthen Parliament And The Judiciary A Series Of Political Reforms That Would Among Other Things See Greater Accountability Among Ministers And Effective Ways To Curb Corruption And Enhance Fiscal Viability. In All These There Is An Emphasis On The Pragmatic Born Of Jalan'S Experience As An Administrator Economist And Member Of Parliament. Contemporary And Topical The Future Of India Politics Economics And Governance Perhaps More Than Any Other Book On The Subject Shows Just How A Future Close Enough To Be Seen Need Not Forever Remain Elusive To The Grasp.| SKU | Unavailable |
