Abstract:
Defying
  economic logic that the poorer regions grow faster to catch up with the ri
 cher ones and embrace the path of convergence, the regional inequality in I
 ndia has deepened over time. These widening differences in economic and soc
 ial outcomes across the states are seen as an outcome of state-specific his
 tories, political regimes, and developmental policies followed. Tamil Nadu 
 is one of the very few states in India that has managed to achieve economic
  growth and relatively equitable developmental outcomes. Less than 30% of i
 ts workforce is involved in agriculture; it is highly urbanized and has bui
 lt a substantial industrial infrastructure. While this transformation has c
 ertainly created new opportunities and brought in a degree of inclusion, it
  has brought in fresh challenges like poor quality of jobs, changing nature
  of caste inequalities and a heightened ecological crisis. Drawing on archi
 val material and secondary data, this presentation will show how such trans
 formation was achieved and indicate its emerging limits.
