520			_aThe paper has analysed India as a variant of developmental state mainly in comparison of East Asian developmental states, democratic authoritarian or mixed. It argues that the Indian developmental state has not received adequate attention in the East Asian-Centric literature on the theory of developmental state in which, the developmental dimension has been given a greater importance than the demographic one. If anything, some theorists like Lellwitch, relying heavily on Gurnar Myrdal's characterization of South Asian politics as `soil states', have made passing comments on India, without a close analysis as a "failed developmental state". This paper makes a persuasive argument that the two phases of India's strategy of economic development - the first socialistic and the second premised on neo-liberal economic reforms - deserve a serious consideration by theorists of developmental state, as India has tried to combine the goals of democratic development as well as economic development. And what is particularly significant is that it has a credible performance in both these domains. - Reproduced.
