SUMMARY:Development
DESCRIPTION:\nWhat made India embrace the developmental state?  \nChandan Gowda presents his book Longing for an Elsewhere\, arguing that this decision was born not from mid-twentieth century decolonization\, but rather from colonized elites’ earlier hunger for civilizational recognition through progress. The talk is followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A. \nBeyond repositioning when development discourse was born\, the book argues that culture actively shapes what is often treated as a purely economic process. This is examined through the case of Mysore\, the princely state that pursued its own path to development under British indirect rule between 1881 and 1947\, tracing the cultural forces that guided its ideas and endeavours. \n\n\n\nMysore and the Origins of a Modern Obsession\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeq6X7ymjxI7paSEhu4shFgZ5aQGRLowvoj2sXkL5dcibcibw/viewform?usp=pp_url)\n*Speakers*: Chandan Gowda\, Manu N Chakravarthy\, Sanjay Reddy\, Prithvi Datta Chandra Shobhi\, Ranjana Raghunathan\n*Event Categories*: Development\, Economics\, History
