The Concise Oxford History of Indian Business
Interesting nuggets from this slim, informative, and highly readable volume:
The Gujarati and Maharashtrian mercantile community's financial dealings with British trading interests in India in the early Eighteenth century, like making them guarantors for credit extended to ill managed regional kingdoms, played an instrumental role in creating the conditions for a political takeover.
During Nehru's avowed socialist tenure more companies were floated in the chemicals, textiles, and steel industries than in his daughter Indira's. The infamous 'license permit raj,' notable for placing onerous restrictions on product category, capacity expansion and contraction decisions, and price setting by firms and the market mechanism, actually came to be during the reign of Indira Gandhi. Fewer firms were floated during her regime, and the worst bureaucratic excesses carried on under the banner of the planned economy attributed to Nehru are actually his daughter's policies in action.
