| Summary: | This essay offers a tour of historical scholarship produced in the last two decades on economic development in early independent India. It is a sub-field that for reasons of archival access and renewed interest is growing, like historical works on independent India more generally. Surveying this landscape, it appears that there are some analytical channels that seem to be exhausting themselves after having long pressed forward, and others that are mining rich seams and new terrain. Broadly speaking, these development histories of the early Indian republic cluster around three themes that spill into one another: interactions between the state and industrial capital, the centrality of food and water, and finally, interconnections with global development. |
