Abstract

This chapter consists of Abstract descriptive account of mixed enterprises in India which involve domestic private capital. Public-private mixtures involving Western business will be treated in the next chapter. This chapter will set forth such facts as are readily available on India’s domestic mixtures and will record interpretive comments of observers and analysts which are relevant to the subject. There are three major subdivisions used in the chapter. The first and second are concerned with mixtures in the states of India prior to and following World War II. The third part deals with mixed enterprise in which the central government is involved. Although factual description will prevail in the exposition, interpretative materials such as survey comments will also be recorded. Table IV and V in the appendix summarize much of the material presented here. A summary is also provided which calls attention to some of the unusual features of the development.
