Economic Policy in Independent India is an in-depth exploration of the Indian economy, offering a comprehensive and accessible approach while maintaining rigorous academic standards. Through a political economy lens, the book delves into the politics, context, and ideas that shaped major economic policies in independent India, highlighting that they emerged from crisis, coalitions, and contingency rather than being solely the result of conscious choices.

The book is organized into chapters that focus on specific political regimes, including Colonial Rule, Jawaharlal Nehru's era, Indira Gandhi's tenure, the liberalization under coalition governments, the UPA Government, and the NDA Government. Each chapter examines how well these governments executed their policies in the face of economic and political constraints, rather than solely evaluating their economic outcomes.

The book employs a range of theories and frameworks to analyze economic policies, drawing from political ideology, historical conditions, and international contexts. Its comprehensive framework provides multiple perspectives and analyses economic policies as the outcome of complex interactions between the dynamics of the economy.

By examining the historical context and political dynamics that shaped economic policies in India, Economic Policy in Independent India offers valuable insights into the country's economic development and challenges. It sheds light on the interplay between economic policies, political institutions, and social movements, and provides a framework for understanding the complex economic landscape of India. Whether you are a student, researcher, or interested in understanding the complexities of the Indian economy, this book is a valuable resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the subject.
