Excellent- More about The Dravidian Model: Interpreting the Political Economy of Tamil Nadu
This book explores the politics and processes contributing to the distinct developmental trajectory of Tamil Nadu, southern India, focusing on populist mobilization against caste-based inequalities. It challenges dominant policy narratives on inclusive growth and emphasizes the importance of redistributing access to opportunities in the modern economy for broad-based growth. It also contributes to the literature on the relationship between modernisation and status-based inequalities in the global South.

This book is a significant contribution to the expanding body of literature on the dynamics of regional development in the global South, particularly focusing on the unique developmental trajectory of Tamil Nadu, a southern Indian state. By employing a novel interpretive framework and drawing upon fresh data and literature, the book aims to explain the social and economic development of Tamil Nadu in terms of populist mobilization against caste-based inequalities.
Dominant policy narratives on inclusive growth often assume a sequential logic, where returns to growth are utilized to invest in socially inclusive policies. However, Tamil Nadu has achieved a relatively more inclusive and dynamic growth process by prioritizing redistribution of access to opportunities in the modern economy. This approach has allowed for broad-based growth, even as interventions in social sectors reinforce the former.
The book also contributes to the emerging literature on the relationship between the logic of modernization and status-based inequalities in the global South. By examining the case of Tamil Nadu, it sheds light on how economic opportunities can be democratized while simultaneously addressing social inequalities. This study offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of regional development and provides a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding the challenges and opportunities facing developing regions in the world.
