a quantum leap in the wrong direction?

What has development and democracy been for India in the last five years? The current Indian political discourse leaves the average citizen wedged between the intersection of wilful misinformation and bewildering statistics. Reliable data has been suppressed with deliberate intent. A clear, lucid, rational analysis is critical to understand our reality. The authors of this important collection show how reliable data, statistics, and sharp analysis can be genuinely used to show why the Modi years are, indeed, a quantum leap backward, for Indias democracy and development.

Aruna Roy

Social and political activist

Dissection of government economic policies, and of their impact on people, is a much needed democratic exerciseparticularly when elections are near. This collection of articles is such an attempt. It is to the credit of the authors that they have managed to arrive at what I think is a credible assessment, despite much difficulty in accessing reliable data because of delays and obfuscation that have become an unfortunate unprecedented feature of recent releases (or withholding) of official data. The authors findings add considerable ballast to the argument that the impact of the present governments economic policies has largely been regressive. Although the other side in the debate is bound to contest this conclusion, the present collection definitely raises the bar to cross for those who would claim that promises of Acche Din have mostly been met.

Abhijit Sen

Former member, Planning Commission of India

The authors of this volume have done a great service to the Indian people who are about to participate in what is undoubtedly the most decisive election in our recent history. To choose wisely, the people need to be correctly informed about the state of the country. And information is precisely what is being denied to them. Even statistics from official sources which show the governments performance in a poor light are being suppressed. This undermines our democracy. It is in this context that this group of young scholars has sought to present in this book a true picture of the performance of the NDA-II government. Their courage and commitment to democracy is commendable.

Prabhat Patnaik

Professor Emeritus, Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, JNU

In times when state institutions, political power, and mass media are being used to mask the truth, this volumes insistence on laying bare plain, if inconvenient, facts about the record of Modi Raj is an act of patriotism. A must read for all citizens before they vote in the momentous election of 2019.
