A Continuous Decline in India, Without Modernization

Hypothesis: Modernization is the Key to economic growth for India.  If
modernization occurs, then the economic status of India will increase
tremendously, even if the price India has to pay is a change in culture, and
tradition.

     India has remained financially stagnant since its beginnings.  One may

the  world.  Indian leaders agreed to establish a "mixed economy,"  which
combines the use of private capital and public in he development of industry,
mining and farming.   If modernization occurs there will be change from
traditional order.  The model of change assumes:  (1) a sharp dichotomy between
the traditional and modern order, including the order of mutual exclusiveness,
