This paper will take a look at India's economic progress between gaining independence to present. Through this we can gain an understanding of where India went wrong, what it may have done to steer itself straight, and where it is now going. The primary areas of focus will be on the country's economic plans under Nehruvian socialism, its industrial/agricultural strategy, the importance of foreign aid, and more briefly, what has happened since the post-1991 economic reforms. 13.5 pgs. 19 f/c. 7b.
