| Summary, etc | Dipankar Gupta, one of India's foremost thinkers on social and economic issues, takes a critical---and controversial---look at the limits, of the Indian success story in The Caged Phoenix. Through a fine blend of theory and new empirical evidence on small-scale industries, farming, and more, Gupta argues that despite the promises of independence and liberalization, India remains caged in a backward state. In short, the country's phenomenal growth has not translated into development. -- Questioning prevailing culture-based theories---and academics who perpetuate them---that are used to explain India's poverty and its hampered development, Gupta attempts to "normalize" India, advocating a rigorous rejection of justifications that rely upon cultural otherness and exoticization. He critically examines the reluctance to acknowledge that structural impediments, not cultural factors, deny growth benefits to the majority of Indians, and explores the close link between growth in high technology sectors of the Indian economy on one side and sweatshops and rural stagnation on the other. Making a comparison with the developed West, Gupta underscores the point that affluence can be achieved only after living conditions improve across all social classes. -- Combining scholarship with a lively narrative, Gupta debunks widespread myths about why India's democracy has yet to deliver and offers compelling explanations for the paradoxes that exist. |
