This used book, “Mystic Inclusion: Surgical Strikes for Inclusive Inclusion,” written in English, delves into the critical examination of inclusive economic growth. It poses pressing questions: What has been the actual outcome of achieved inclusion from a deontological demand-side perspective? Is current inclusion truly inclusive? And does ceremonious inclusion, driven by inclusion-oriented interventions, lead to unceremonious exclusion without ensuring sustainability? This monograph empirically probes these facts. The concept of inclusion for the excluded encompasses both spatial/geographical and human dimensions. From an economic growth standpoint, ‘inclusive inclusion’ necessitates a holistic, qualitative integration of areas with productive infrastructure for sustainable economic activities. Beyond development orientation, this demands comprehensive human development for residents within included habitations. In the absence of these qualitative aspects, inclusion supported solely by numerical data, regardless of its focus (social, education, health, or financial), represents mere “mystic inclusion.” This book critically analyzes empirically tested evaluative findings to demystify the true impact of inclusion. As a way forward, it proposes a “Bharthya” approach, emphasizing the Indianization of district-level planning systems and the indigenization of products and services tailored to marginalized populations at the poverty pyramid’s base, fostering candid inclusion aligned with ‘Make in India’ principles. For research students and academic institutions, it offers valuable hypotheses on inclusion and poverty for future testing and theory development, addressing significant gaps in social science knowledge.
