Synopsis

Reconstructing India outlines a bold program to lift a large nation from underdevelopment. The book analyzes how post‑war reconstruction pressures, domestic policy, and colonial legacies shaped India's slow progress. It argues India must rapidly expand education, industry, and rural vitality to raise living standards and regional prosperity.

In a clear, policy‑level voice, the work compares India with Japan and other modern economies, then lays out practical steps for reform. It calls for provincial control of industry, targeted investment in schools and technical training, and a coordinated push to improve agriculture, infrastructure, and trade. The initial aim is to free the country from bureaucratic bottlenecks and build a foundation for sustained growth.

What you’ll experience

• A historical examination of India’s social and economic bottlenecks after World War I


• A concrete set of recommendations for education, industry, and agriculture


• Discussion of governance, provincial autonomy, and the role of the state


• Illustrative comparisons with Japan’s reconstruction efforts and policy tools

Ideal for readers of history, development studies, and policy discussions who want a historic blueprint for national renewal and economic reform.

Reconstructing India offers a focused look at the broad idea that modernization requires institutions, education, and leadership aligned with practical, locally driven programs.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Reconstructing India

In view of the extensive changes which are now being made under the new Government of India Act, it is necessary to study Indian political, economic and social problems in a new light.

It is the spirit and intention of the Act to prepare the country for full responsible government, and it should certainly be the endeavour of the people to remove at once every stumbling block from their path and to take the most complete advantage of this new opportunity.

The Indian mind needs to be familiarized with the principles of modern progress, a universal impulse for inquiry and enterprise awakened, and earnest thinking and effort promoted.
