This study delves into the paradox of India's political economy: despite five decades of democracy-driven strategies, the country has struggled to reconcile economic growth with redistribution and to address the severe poverty that affects 350 to 400 million people—over 40% of the population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from an extensive empirical review of India's rural development and reform policies, Sharma highlights the significant disparities between development goals and actual outcomes. The study emphasizes the role of India's democratic polity and its interactions with rural society in shaping these outcomes. Sharma challenges conventional understandings of democracy and development, offering fresh insights into their complex relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Democracy and Development: The State-Society Approach\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nationalism, Democracy, and Development: The Making of a “Weak-Strong State”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rural Development During the Nehru Era: Limits to Reform and Redistribution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4:\u003c\/strong\u003e The State, Public Policy, and Agricultural Modernization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contradictions of the Green Revolution: Growth Without Redistribution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6:\u003c\/strong\u003e The New Agrarianism and Rural Development\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7:\u003c\/strong\u003e Democracy, Neoliberalism, and Development with Equity: India in Comparative Perspective\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShalendra D.
