INDIAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES II

Attempt any two questions. All questions carry equal marks.

Q1. Elaborate on the process of industrialization which picked up momentum in the
inter-war years. Do
you think that strikes which occurred in the course of interwar years were indicative of instability of the labour force?
Q2. Was it due to the growing pressures of the mass movements inspired by
economic nationalism or was it because India ceased to be an asset worth
processing that British left India? Discuss.
Q3. The evidence from Bombay and Jamshedpur suggests that the creation of a
disciplined industrial labour force was not particularly difficult. If there were
differences in work behavior, these flowed from employer policy. Discuss.
Q4. In the first half of the 20th century, it was the Indian entrepreneur rather than
the British who responded creatively to the opportunities for industrial investment.
Comment.

possessing." Do you agree? Give reasons in support of your answer.
Q3. The explanations of backwardness of the Indian economy is no longer sought
