résumé / abstract

The paper argues that the Indian Constitution has both radical and conservative elements and that the evolution of the economy and the polity has been shaped by the interaction of their contradictory pulls. Even as the elite has been transformed in the process of economic growth, it has managed to suppress the radical intent of the Constitution, and India today is more unequal and has fewer opportunities for social mobility. Except in politics, where the political space is more democratic, more plural and more representative. Therefore sixty years after independence, even as the Indian elite believes it has finally arrived on the world stage, the challenges facing the country, both in economics and in politics, is addressing the radical agenda of the Constitution, which refuses to be swept away. Finally the Indian experience with political democracy and economic growth might have implications for the way the interconnections between democracy, development and equality are currently being theorized.
