Book Review@IIPA Part 18 l State, Citizen, and Society l Dr Karthik Muralidharan

We conclude our journey through 'Accelerating India’s Development' by Dr. Karthik Muralidharan with an insightful discussion on Chapter 18: State, Citizen, and Society.
This video unravels the dynamic interplay between state capacity, citizen engagement, and societal structures in India. It emphasizes the critical need for a robust Indian state to strengthen governance and public service delivery, which is key to the nation’s progress. Dr. Muralidharan argues that a strong state is vital for transforming political equality into societal equity, ensuring fair access to education, healthcare, safety, and justice.
It also delves into the concept of constructive civic engagement, urging collaboration among citizens, civil society, and the state to drive development. It critiques the historical elite bias in policymaking, which has resulted in disproportionate public spending favoring the affluent, and advocates for inclusive partnerships across social strata.
It highlights the importance of shifting from confrontational approaches to collective action, replacing zero-sum strategies with positive-sum solutions that enhance societal well-being. Furthermore, the chapter underscores the influential role of the middle class and elites in advocating for governance reforms and shaping policy outcomes.
Join us as we unpack these compelling ideas and explore how they can inspire a stronger, more inclusive India.
