Referenced in 4 other works , including IS THERE A MIDDLE WAY? , Report , and LIFE AFTER LIBERALISATION .
In Report : Raju's President's Address credits the Congress government led by Narasimha Rao with initiating India's economic U-turn in the early 1990s — positioning Rao's administration as the historical inflection point Raju's liberal-party argument builds on.
In IS THERE A MIDDLE WAY? : Mehta frames his defence of gradualist reform around Prime Minister Narasimha Rao's 'Middle Path' Davos speech, defending it against both pro-reform impatience and left-wing rejection as the appropriate sequencing after forty years of bureaucratic socialism.
In LIFE AFTER LIBERALISATION : The lecture is delivered in the immediate aftermath of the Narasimha Rao government's launch of economic reforms, treated as one of two epochal ruptures (with the Soviet collapse) defining the moment.
In Making Indian Industry Globally Competitive : Narasimha Rao is invoked as the Prime Minister whose natural instincts favour liberalisation, and as a fellow member of the same government that imposed strangulating controls before the 1991 reforms.
