An Uncertain Glory by Jean Drèze
India and its Contradictions
A clear, data-driven critique of modern India’s development that argues rapid GDP growth has often failed to improve people’s lives because public services and social protection remain weak; it documents persistent malnutrition, poor health and schooling, and deep inequalities, links these outcomes to policy choices that underfund universal services and prioritize short-term macro goals, and calls for stronger public investment, redistribution, and democratic accountability to expand capabilities and achieve more inclusive, sustainable progress.
