What Explains Poverty in India

India is one of those rare countries in the world that is blessed with all the right resources. India has lots of sunshine, an abundant supply of sweet or potable water, fertile lands and, last but not the least, intelligent and hardworking people.

India, in spite of having all these resources, is still a developing country even after sixty-eight years of independence. The poverty in India is appalling and unjustifiable. On many social development parameters, India is competing with sub-Saharan countries.

What explains this status? Where did India go wrong?

This book is an attempt to understand this puzzle and find the right strategies that would help India discover its true potential.
