-- India and its contradictions.2013., Princeton University Press Call No: 338.9 D771u Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: When India became independent in 1947 after two centuries of colonial rule, it immediately adopted a firmly democratic political system, with multiple parties, freedom of speech, and extensive political rights.

In the long run, even the feasibility of high economic growth is threatened by the underdevelopment of social and physical infrastructure and the neglect of human capabilities.
