India's Modernization Program of"Democratic Socialism"
After independence,India once adopted the modernization program of"democratic social-ism",envisioning that the goal of India's modernization is a"socialist pattern of society"where the gener-al public is lifted out of poverty,the national economy is self-reliant,and"the fullest democracy"is a-chieved.For this reason,the main approach adopted by India's modernization is the"democratic plan-ning",which adjusts India's production relations and superstructure in a democratic way,promotes pro-ductivity development through a planned economy,and drives India's modernization process.However,due to India's lack of material conditions and national capabilities to implement reformist modernization program,as well as its inability to avoid the drawbacks of low quality and insufficient motivation of the Soviet socialist modernization model,the"democratic socialism"modernization program did not make In-dia a"socialist pattern of society"and could not continue to promote India's modernization.This indicates that the reformist modernization plan of democratic socialism is not applicable to the modernization process of economically and socially underdeveloped and traditional countries such as India.
