Synopsis
Reconstructing India outlines a bold program to lift a large nation from underdevelopment. The book analyzes how post‑war reconstruction pressures, domestic policy, and colonial legacies shaped India's slow progress. It argues India must rapidly expand education, industry, and rural vitality to raise living standards and regional prosperity.
In a clear, policy‑level voice, the work compares India with Japan and other modern economies, then lays out practical steps for reform. It calls for provincial control of industry, targeted investment in schools and technical training, and a coordinated push to improve agriculture, infrastructure, and trade. The initial aim is to free the country from bureaucratic bottlenecks and build a foundation for sustained growth.

- A historical examination of India’s social and economic bottlenecks after World War I
