Advancing India’s Structural Transformation and Catch-up to the Technology Frontier
While India’s growth has been strong in recent decades, its structural transformation remains incomplete. In this paper, we first take stock of India’s growth to date. We find that economic activity has shifted from agriculture to services, but agriculture remains the predominant employer. Catch up to the technological frontier has been uneven, with limited progress in agriculture, but also in construction and trade, which have grown the most in terms of employment. We do find some Indian firms already operating at the technological frontier. These strong performers tend to be large firms. We then consider India’s employment challenge going forward. We find that India needs to create between 143-324 million jobs by 2050 and that doing so and with workers shifting towards more dynamic sectors could boost GDP growth by 0.2-0.5 percentage points. Structural reforms can help India create high-quality jobs and accelerate growth.

India's Scientific Frontier
Excerpt from India's Scientific Frontier: Where Is It? What Is It? Of men from Kandahar to Multan, to one fourth that number. But how was this reduction accomplished? Why, by taking as the basis of comparison, not the facts of Sir John Keene's march from Sukkar to Kandahar, but those of Sir Frederick Roberts' march from Kabul to Kan dahar. Now the latter march was made under conditions exceptionally favourable, even as te gards that particular route, and such as never have or ever can occur in the Bolan road. The column, consisting of men of all ranks, had with it no wheeled carriage, only mountain guns no pontoon train, no sappers, and only a small reserve of engin eers' equipments, and har...
Indian Frontier Policy
Excerpt from Indian Frontier Policy: An Historical Sketch The subject of our policy on the N orth-west frontier of India is one of great importance, as affecting the general welfare of our Eastern Empire, and is specially interesting at the present time, When mili tary operations on a considerable scale are being conducted against a combination of the independent tribes along the frontier. It must be understood that the present condition of affairs is no mere sudden outbreak on the part of our turbulent neighbours. Its causes lie far deeper, and are the consequences of events in bygone years. In the following pages I have attempted to give a short historical summary of its varying phases, in...

A Scientific Frontier, Or the Danger of a Russian Invasion of India (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from A Scientific Frontier, or the Danger of a Russian Invasion of India This sense of security was inspired by the barren and difficult nature of the country which an army, entering Afghanistan from the north, would have to traverse before it reached India; and by the character of the Afghan tribes, a knowledge of which we had acquired during our invasion in 1838 - 42. In 1867 certain opinions found expression in mili tary circles to the effect that our means of success fully encountering a Russian advance would be greatly improved if we held advanced posts in Afghanistan, whence we could meet our northern foe at a distance from the Indian frontier. These Opinions, however. About th...
The New Frontier
Does the burgeoning Indian information technology (IT) sector represent a deviation from the historical arc of caste inequality or has it become yet another site of discrimination? In 'The New Frontier', author Marilyn Fernandez describes how the practice of pure and holistic merit are deeply embedded in the social, cultural and economic privileges of the dominant castes and classes, and how caste filtering has led to the reproduction of caste hierarchies and, consequently, the small Dalit footprint in Indian IT.
