India in Search of Glory: Political Calculus and Economy

• Lahiri explores the close relationship between politics and economic policy in India. He assesses the country's achievements and shortcomings and discusses the reforms and priorities needed to create a stronger economic future.

Ashok Lahiri is a distinguished Indian economist and former Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India. He has taught at the Delhi School of Economics, served at the Asian Development Bank, chaired Bandhan Bank and worked with international institutions including the World Bank and IMF.

The book asks a fundamental question: why has India, despite significant progress since Independence, remained short of the level of prosperity and development it seeks? Lahiri examines India's political economy, compares its performance with successful Asian economies, identifies missed opportunities and highlights areas that require urgent attention for the country to achieve its potential.
