Watch: India’s Path To Development: Arvind Subramanian and Devesh Kapur in conversation with Narendar Pani

Former Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India Arvind Subramanian discusses the themes of his book A Sixth of Humanity: India’s Development Odyssey. He explains how India’s development framework involved building the state, nation, society and markets simultaneously, while uniquely following a path of universal franchise and democratic politics from the very beginning. Co-author Devesh Kapur, Professor at Johns Hopkins University, adds that the book examines how inequality has evolved across India’s major social cleavages, including gender, religion and region.
