A memo to government: Please read Prof Amit Bhaduri’s ‘Development with Dignity’

In an earlier article, I had argued how Elections-2024 were very similar to Elections-2004. Just that BJP managed to hold onto power with the help of coalition partners.

Prof Amit Bhaduri wrote a monograph titled ‘Development with Dignity’  in 2005. It was written after the 2004 election as a reminder to the government for not getitng carried away with growth in GDP and stock markets.  Instead it should focus on development with dignity which looks at providing jobs for all.

In this article in Deccan Herald, I argue why Prof Bhaduri’s monograph is a must read 20 years later.
