<br/><br/> sate capability and effective governance have been the focus of a few recent books (Somanathan; Muralidharan). The map is never the territory and it is always better to learn from what has been attempted so far. Policy analysts are finally recognizing that Indian State is not over staffed. Ashoka Mody's critique of failure in public goods provision ( Education, health, urban infrastructure, clean water, clean air, and a fair and responsive judiciary as public goods) and of weak local governance, need to be addressed.
