Indian Administration: Politics, Policies and Prospects 2006

The author locates the bureaucracy as an integral part of politics and governance and emphasises the harmony of the executive and the legislature as the foundation for administrative action. The Indian administration was politicised during the Emergency (1975-77) and the problem has become more acute today. Initially an agency intended to facilitate ‘growth with social justice’, the administration now facilitates neo-liberal growth and development. Distortions in the system in the post-socialist, post-welfare cannot be attributed to its colonial background since in post-colonial India, a set of specialised, technical and scientific institutions were created. The author elaborates on the context in which the administration can be equipped to facilitate economic reforms.
