Two authors to start with on the history of the Indian Economy:a)Tirthankar Roy, _The Economic History of India 1857-1947, second edition, Oxford 2006b)for post WWII onwards, Arvind Panagariya, _India: The Emerging Giant_ Oxford, 2008.There has been much else published on the history of the Indian economy. But I can suggest theseas two accessible overviews for Justin and his student.David Mitch

Dear Shoe Colleagues,At the conclusion of my political economy class today one of my students asked me about the history of the Indian economy and inquired as to whether I could reference any specific economists whose area of specialization pertained to the history of the Indian economy. As India and the Indian economy are not my area of specialization, I was hard pressed to provide my student with a substantive answer, but I promised to ask.As such, are there any SHOE listserv followers that have knowledge about or are familiar with economists whose research pertains to the history of the Indian economy? Thank you in advance for your assistance in furthering the education of one of my students as well as myself.Best,Justin A.
