...ECONOMIC NATIONALISM- CAPITALIST INTEREST AND ROLE OF BUSINESS CLASS The period from 1914 to 1947, 1945 and 1933 in particular, are considered important from the economic point of view in the history of India. Colonial economy was run by international exports. However, this pattern of colonial economy was reversed, as India started exporting, production of goods increased, while reducing imports. Till the end of World War One, for various reasons, the number of registered industrial enterprises had been steadily rising, as the developments in the interwar period strengthened their position. There were various factors that facilitated the Indian industrial development like the rowing tendencies towards import substitution, internal trade, shifting attention towards domestic markets and so on. Since the late 19th century, the Indian capitalist class, more specifically the industrial bourgeoisie was becoming more matured and influential in politics. The earlier generations of Indian businessmen were too dependent on the foreign capital and were hence ready to accept the domination of the colonial state with all its discrimination. However, the newer generations of industrialists, coming from an expanded social base, were more matured and less prepared to surrender their rights. They began to organize themselves into Bengal National Chamber of Commerce (1887) and Indian Merchant’s Chamber in Bombay (1907). Among the various groups that participated in the national movement, there...

Published : October 21, 2010 in India Knowledge@Wharton The 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG) in Delhi from October 5 to October 14 were orchestrated in typical Indian style. Until the eleventh hour, nothing was ready. There were fears that the event would have to be called off. Charges of corruption were rampant. (After suspending probes during the period of the Games, several investigative agencies have been unleashed again.) The facilities were reported to be way below acceptable standards. The Scottish delegation found dogs in their beds in the Games Village; the South Africans found a snake. But, in the end, it was a superb show.

That means the video games industry in India will almost triple itself in 5 years.year, to Rs.1500 crore (Rs. 15 billion / $277 million). Sweet numbers. The console segment will overall grow at a rate of 19% CAGR, to reach Rs. 1900 crore ($351m) by 2017. The report is yet to take in other future factors such as the possible success/failure of PS4 and the upcoming Xbox. On the other hand, the Internet & Mobile Association of India estimates that 50% of India’s mobile users have access to gaming content on their devices. These numbers are expected to rise amid increased penetration of smartphones and tablets. Mobile gaming revenues in India typically have come through telecom operator partnerships, but this is expected to change by 2014, the report states, when sources such as app-stores and online marketplaces will dominate mobile revenues. This despite the fact that operators are now offering up to 70% revenue share to game publishers. As expected, the big challenge for game publishers is monetisation, as a chunk of mobile game revenue in India comes from ad-funded free-to-play games. This also might be due to the fact of limited high-speed connectivity of smartphones and tablets alike, and limited access to credit cards. On a positive...
