India's rate of economic growth after the1991 reforms were instituted reached a remarkable 7 percent for threeconsecutive years, from 1994 to 1997. Several contributors to the volume askwhat this means for the nation as a whole. In his essay 'Democracy andSecularism in India', Amartya Sen argues that economic progress is not the onlyway to measure a nation's performance.
