Buy India Grows At Night – A Liberal Case For A Strong State Second Hand Books Online India, Authored by gurcharan das in hardcover binding from Used Book Store.
Indians ironically admit that “India is growing overnight.” But this is only half of the saying, the full sentence being “India grows at night… when the government sleeps” suggesting that the nation is growing despite the state.
India is a story of private successes and public failures. Prosperity is indeed spreading across the country, even as public life is permeated with administrative failures.
But how can a country become one of the fastest-growing economies in the world if it is run by a weak and ineffective state? And wouldn’t it be wonderful if India also grew during the day – in other words, if public policy supported private enterprise? What India needs, says Gurcharan Das, is a strong liberal state.
Such a state would have the power to take swift and decisive action, it would have the rule of law to ensure that those actions are legal, and finally, it would be accountable to the people. But getting there won’t be easy, says Das, because historically India has had a weak state and a strong society. About the Author, Gurcharan Das is a well-known author, commentator, and intellectual.
