Summary, etc. Today, privatisation, consumerism and market-economy are the fashionable 'in things', and are no longer apologetic words among the dominant political ideologues in India. Nationalisation and public sector are out. Nehruvian socialism is an anathema, if not embarrassment.<br/>Until recently, however, 'socialism' formed the political ideology of the state policy. Politicians vied with one another in being 'socialistic'. Indira Gandhi's populist nationalization of major banks was hailed as more 'socialist' and revolutionary than anything similar that Nehru could accomplish. And ironically, when some of the so-called 'communist' countries were showing the first major signs of cracking up, India judged it appropriate to declare herself a 'socialist' republic in 1976.<br/> Paradoxically enough, the lean towards the public sector in the economic regime of the post-independent India came not only from the leaders of the freedom movement but also from the leading capitalists of the day. Again, both the Congress leadership and the leading capitalists were inspired at that time, and in their own ways, as much by the Russian experience as by that of the western capitalist system. <br/>This book is about the social-historical evolution of this 'socialist' state policy as ideology. What was the nature of the colonial state, and what was its role in the development of capitalism in India<br/>
