India is a prime example of the importance of the part played by a country's history, culture, sociology, and socio-cultural-religious norms, values, and institutions in its development process. This book, with its assorted essays of varying depths of scholarship and insightful reflections, attempts to drive home this point more forcefully than ever before. In its search for the non-economic roots of India?s overall sloth and murky progress in its broad-based economic and human development, the book illuminates major oddities deep inside a unique mental make-up full of perceptual and ideational dilemmas, many of which are arguably shaped by the long-lasting and dominant influence of what could be called the Brahminical lines of thinking and discourse. With India?s hazy and dodgy world of perceptions as a backdrop, the book also addresses ? through its intelligent essays - the deep and sometimes dire ramifications of the historic advent and the dramatic advance of neoliberal market ideology today. 606 $aPopulation 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aDemography 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aReligion?Philosophy 606 $aPopulation Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W38000 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 606 $aCultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E33000 607 $aIndia$xSocial conditions$y1947- 607 $aIndia$xCivilization$y1947- 607 $aIndia$2fast 607 $aIndia$2gtt 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aCultural studies. 615 0$aReligion?Philosophy. 615 14$aPopulation Economics. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aDemography. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Religion. 676 $a306.09541 676 $a954.05 700 $aMaharatna$b Arup$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058479 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741181103321 996 $aIndia?s Perception, Society, and Development$93554178 997 $aUNINA
