Question

5) Discuss the evolution and role of the Indian State,​

Answer 1

$\huge{\fcolorbox{cyan}{black}{\red{ANSWER:-}}}$

Thomas Hobbes' insight, in his 1651 treatise

Leviathan, that life without an effective state to preserve

order is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short."

This Report aims to show how every state, regardless of

its point of departure, can improve its effectiveness and

move ever further away from this doomsday scenario.

Toward that end, this chapter begins with a reminder of

how we got here. Surveying the history of the state from

its early beginnings, it shows how notions of the state's

role have evolved to produce, in both industrial and devel-

oping countries, a dramatic expansion of the state and,

more recently, a change of emphasis from the quantity of

government to the quality. The chapter then lays out a

simple framework for rethinking the state, introducing a

two-part strategy for greater state effectiveness that the

rest of the Report explores. The message is that the state

can rise to the challenges it faces, but only by, first, match-

ing what it tries to do to what it can do, and second,

working to increase the number of things it can do capa-

bly by reinvigorating public institutions.

Hope that helps..!!
