Article Abstract:
A growing competition in India has succeeded in bringing about improvements in products and services. Prior to 1991, the government controlled virtually everything, from the size of the labor force to prices, and there was little competition. Further liberalization of competition will continue the change.

Article Abstract:
India will mark its 50th year of independence in 1997, and its accomplishments are mixed. To its credit, it has established and maintained the world's largest democracy. However, the country's economic development has been slow and unbalanced, with the countryside lagging behind the towns.
