"India witnessed one of the biggest revolutions of the 20th century, yet
there was no civil war or mass casualties ? that was the Nehruvian miracle."

"The following text is Aditya Mukherjee?s Sukhamoy Chakravarty Chair
Lecture at the Centre for Economic and Social Progress (CESP), Jawaharlal
Nehru University on ?The Historical Roots of India?s Development Strategy,?
delivered on September 23, 2025.

I would like to first thank the CESP, the leading Centre for Economic
Studies and Planning in the country for decades. I would also like to thank
Professor Praveen Jha for giving me the honour of delivering the Sukhamoy
Chakravarty Chair Lecture. We have all been beneficiaries of Professor
Sukhamoy Chakravarty and his great scholarship. He was in fact, as Praveen
would know, often compared with Amartya Sen for his brilliance. The
difference was that Chakravarty gave up a purely academic career and chose
to play an important role in the shaping of India?s development strategy.
He advised the government over a very long period of time. He played a very
important role in the evolution of India?s development strategy over time,
apart from writing about it very brilliantly."
