Bimal Jalan gives a bird’s eye view of how the Indian economy and polity evolved since 1991
Having held a variety of top government positions, including that of Finance Secretary and RBI Governor, Bimal Jalan is in an uniquely privileged position to hold forth on India’s economic journey since the momentous 1991 reforms. He was very much in the thick of things when the Narasimha Rao government set about dismantling the edifice of Nehruvian socialism (or what passed off as socialism in India) and brought about the liberalisation of the economy.
