This book is my story of India's development since Independence. I have had the keen desire to know about reforms in India, their relevance, changes and challenges. To be able to highlight the growing trends in development I was led to research a great deal on politics and nature of economy. A number of chapters are based on reforms - their inception, changes and worth. Significantly becoming modern while at same time these reforms become more elaborate with committees on almost about everything in India. I focus more on land reforms and tenancy issues which have been plaguing the development paradigm. New population studies, living standards, commerce and generation studies focus the reader to perspective of developing nation state.
