The Myth of Rural India
In this podcast, Abhinav Prakash and Kushal take the question of whether India is predominantly a rural or urban polity. Does real India reside in the villages? What does the data indicate? If India is rural is it a good thing? If not why does the political set-up of India give disproportionately more attention to rural India? Are urban poor less important when compared to rural poor? We try to tackle this and many more such related issues in this podcast.
