Question

How was the economic development of India visualised in the early decades after independence

Answer 1

Indian economic policy after independence was influenced by the colonial experience, which was seen by Indian leaders as exploitative, and by those leaders\' exposure to British social democracy as well as the progress achieved by the planned economy of the Soviet Union.

Domestic policy tended towards protectionism, with a strong emphasis on import substitution industrialisation, economic interventionism, a large public sector, business regulation, and central planning,while trade and foreign investment policies were relatively liberal.

Five-Year Plans of India resembled central planning in the Soviet Union. Steel, mining, machine tools, telecommunications, insurance, and power plants, among other industries, were effectively nationalised in the mid-1950s
