"This book is about the colonial ancestry of India's pursuit of economic development. Unlike familiar historical accounts that view development thought as a mid-twentieth century phenomenon, its origins go further back in time and are rooted in the desire of colonized elites to replicate locally the industrial modernity of Europe and the United States. Focusing on Mysore state's efforts to attain development during British indirect rule (1881-1947), Longing for an Elsewhere powerfully shows that culture actively shapes development"-- Provided by publisher.
