On the contrary, it is plausible to envisage a different but possibly enhanced role for the state (see Chapter 1). In the context of the discussion over development prospects and patterns of so-called late-developers, it has often been contended that across different economic paradigms, different economic transformations of capitalism, the role of the state has tended to increase and, simultaneously, to be transformed, that is, undertake new task for late-developers starting with the classical statements of Alexander Gershenkron (1952; Adelman 2000).2 Most of the recent debate on the role of the state in economic progress has taken its inspiration from the debate over those late-developed states in East Asia that are regarded as the most recent examples of successful ‘catching-up’ strategies.3 It is to this debate we now turn in order to extract from the debate some of the key insights to be used as guidelines in the discussion of the policies of the states and (as will be apparent soon) the interaction between the state and the wider society, most prominently, the private business sector.

In particular, the emergence and consolidation of a democratic regime in India situated in a region with culturally similar countries dominated by mostly non-democratic regimes has been difficult to explain using the standard explanatory factors from different strands of democratic theory. India is either being seen as being too poor, too illiterate, socially and culturally too traditional and ethnically too fragmented to be a likely candidate for a stable parliamentary democracy. In comparison, political developments in Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka have been in much greater conformity with the standard prescriptions of the prevailing theories of preconditions for parliamentary democracies. In this chapter I will give an overview of some prominent academic positions in two related but nevertheless distinct debates. The first debate concerns the background for India's democracy and tries to answer one of the great intellectual puzzles within the social sciences: Why did India end up having a democratic political system? The survey of the relatively few contributions to this academic debate will be followed by some critical observations and some reflections on the different answers given over the years to this question. The second and much more unwieldy debate concerns the question of why the democratic political system, once established – and unlike the situation of most other newly independent poor countries – has persisted in India despite the many and varied challenges it has encountered in the post-Independence period.

This article discusses the possible explanations for the initiation and consolidation of the reform process. Contrary to the prevailing explanations that focus on the state elite or pressures from the international economy, this paper argues that the impetus came from a new breed of Indian entrepreneurs.
