'Making India Work' deepens our understanding of how evolving economic policy, federalism, and especially notions of citizenship defined the development of state welfare since 1948. www.theindiaforum.in/book-reviews...

Democratisation and the pressures of electoral politics meant that the failure to generate jobs could not be ignored. India’s welfare regimes bore the burden.

“Making India Work is essential reading for scholars and students of welfare states in India and beyond. Above all, this must be read in India by our commentariat who in the court of public opinion have been far too quick to delegitimise essential welfare investments.” Yamini Aiyer reviews MIW
