A Sixth of Humanity: Independent India's Development Odyssey | Conversation w/ Devesh K & Arvind S.

The Talk "A Sixth of Humanity" offers an account of India’s transformation from a postcolonial state to a global power. Through rigorous research, data-driven analysis, and vivid narrative, it unpacks the country’s unique development model, and how it attempted four transformations — building a state, forging a nation, changing society, and developing markets, all through democratic politics. How far has India succeeded, and where and how does it go from here?
