Abstract

Development – a change from one state to another normally associated with positive movement is a holistic concept. The idea of Bose regarding Self-reliant Bharat had a strong inclination towards industry, defence, scientific temper and strong leadership. He valued non-discrimination and perceived the problems of poverty, unemployment, discrimination, caste, class as some of the major problems that Independent India had to face. This is true today. The present paper is an attempt to explore the opinions of the Indian residents regarding the developed India as projected in the vision of Bose. 35 respondents were part of the study. Their selection was done using convenience sampling. One-way ANOVA was used to examine the difference in the mean scores across several population variables. The results show that the opinions regarding development vary across the groups of majority and minority affiliation. However, the other independent variables of age, gender, geographical community had no effect on the peoples’ perception regarding development. The present study shows that though quantitatively India is showing development especially in the areas of defence and industry, the problems like poverty, increasing gap between rich and poor, discrimination, unemployment and underemployment hamper the holistic development of the country as visualized by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Thus, steps must be taken to improve the quality of life of all the residents of India, including the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable
