Ashoka Mody, a former IMF and World Bank economist who is now a visiting professor at Princeton University, whose book India is Broken: A People Betrayed, 1947 to Today has recently been published by Juggernaut, says every prime minister from Jawaharlal Nehru to Narendra Modi has “let down and betrayed” the Indian people. The policies they have followed – whether industrial or agricultural or to do with education and health – were poorly designed to tackle the problems India faced either at independence in 1947 or even today in 2023. As a result, over the last 75 years, India has failed to realise its potential and this leads Ashoka Mody to the conclusion that the people of this country have been let down and betrayed by all its prime ministers and governments from independence till today.
