Jean Drèze and Amartya Sen analyze the paradox of India's remarkable economic growth alongside its persistent social inequalities. The authors highlight the neglect of basic needs, especially among the poor and women, in areas such as education, healthcare, clean water, and sanitation. They argue that failures in inclusive development impede both economic progress and human potential. Drawing comparisons with nations like Japan, South Korea, and China, the book advocates for a model of growth paired with social development. It also underscores the importance of democratic practices in addressing inequalities and fostering a more equitable society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJean Drèze\u003c\/strong\u003e: An economist residing in India since 1979 and an Indian citizen since 2002, he has taught at institutions like the London School of Economics and Delhi School of Economics.
