OverviewThis book talks about economic reforms in India since Independence. It aims to do away with myths which slow down progress and talks about new challenges in the country and economy.Synopsis Much has been said about India reforms after Independence, and it is always under scrutiny. People discuss policies with preconceived notions without checking into facts. Due to this a lot of rumours spread around, and people criticise the economic and political reforms of the country without any concrete basis. It is widely believed that all the issues plaguing our country like illiteracy, poverty, and health issues are because the reforms of the country favoured growth more than the development of the people. India Tryst with Destiny is a defining book when it comes to discussing policy concerns, as these very myths have been discussed and demystified which are used to criticise India political reforms. Systematic data has been collected and henceforth analysed, clearly showing how baseless these accusations against the reforms are. The authors stress that the only way out of the issues facing the country is through overall development, as only that will lead to solving issues like poverty and illiteracy and ill health. A good growth rate will help in providing revenues for solving these very issues.
