On an all new episode of "Uncle, Please Sit!", Joel and Tushar chat with Anupam Manur, an expert studying the intersection of economics, technology, and public policy. The topic of conversation this week is the Indian Economy.

In the first of a two-part episode, the panel discusses the status of the Indian economy before and after independence. They explore the guiding philosophies of the Nehruvian years, Indira Gandhi's hard turn towards socialism, and years leading up to the balance of payments crisis. Along the way, they also try to figure out the reasoning behind the decisions of India's policymakers. Click through to check out the episode!
