Has Recent Growth Generated Development in India?
Development of a country, in its broader context, can be ensured by its growth only when matched by a level of living for all in the country, which is at least above the basic minimum needed for subsistence. It is thus inappropriate to identify growth with development unless the conditions that make for the latter are perceived to prevail. For India, the pattern as has emerged has taken away the developmental implications of growth under globalisation; with poverty and inequality continuing with the rising income enjoyed by the rich and the middle income people in the country. We analyse the factors contributing to the lack of development in India despite the high GDP growth.

Politics of Welfare: Subnational Differences in Social Outcomes in India
The paper seeks to map political regimes and the underlying ideologies that govern them in shaping public policy priorities via a case study of three states in India—Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and West Bengal. Using categories of Tamil Populism, Mercantilism and Party Society, the study establishes a relationship between economic and political processes. In the case of Tamil Nadu, we see the workings of an ideology of Tamil Populism are based on twin planks of Tamil pride and affirmative action for lower castes. In the context of Gujarat, the regime is shaped by a mercantilist ethos and engendered through the twinning of a pro-business and Vaishnavite Hinduism. In West Bengal, the regime is guided by Party-Society -a specific form of political society claims to work for historically disadvantaged and excluded. The paper examines how varieties of political regimes rooted in specific histories of these states set the divergent paths of development in India.Kalaiyarasan is faculty at the Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai. He did his Ph.D. in Development Economics from Jawaharlal Nehru University. He works on caste, labour and industrialization, and regional political economy in India.
