India, with its vast population, has become a focal point of global attention due to its remarkable economic growth and potential. In addition, India’s geo-political influence has assumed significance within the context of Indo-Pacific strategy. This has further intensified the need to understand and examine India’s great transition from an inter-disciplinary perspective. The first two decades following independence were significant in highlighting the challenges faced by a newly independent nation and the strategies employed to address them. The pivotal turning point in 1991, when India initiated comprehensive economic reforms, also set the stage for a diverse political climate characterized by evolving ideologies.
This book comprehends ongoing transition in India from interdisciplinary perspective. The chapters in the book highlight the key milestones and shifts in India’s journey since its inception as an independent nation in 1947. Written in a simple and accessible manner, the book comprehensively addresses a diverse range of issues concerning India’s significant transition, engaging prominent scholars from respective fields.
