Why India didn't grow as fast as other Asian countries
The ‘what ifs’ of Indian development are many and varied. Embarking on a kind of time travel, some observers will point out that India had a per capita income comparable to Korea’s, say, some six decades ago, and to China’s before Deng Xiaoping began his bold reforms in the late 1970s.
