Abstract

Debate revealed a consciousness in India about its growing economic power, comprising the view that the dominance of the western world lies in the past, a sense of at least partial rivalry with China, and an expectation that India’s economy might become the world’s largest. Some participants were confident that economic growth was a tide which lifted all boats. Others argued forcefully that the new economic dynamism was making only the upper end wealthier and that the result would be even greater inequality and injustice than before. The paper reports informally on wide-ranging discussions.
