Abstract
Over the centuries, there have been numerous hypotheses on development concurring to Amartya Sen, a 1998 Noble prize winner in Economics (on welfare economics and social choice theory and for the poorest) but contemporaneously, we are living in a world divided into two spheres: one of exceptional prosperity and another with unforeseen deprivation, pauperism and oppression. Dr. Sen has in his book titled ‘Development as Freedom’ linked development to expansion of freedoms of individuals through the lens of democracy, yet India juggles constantly between the development and democratic ideals. This work intends to highlight another perspective upon which development may be undertaken where democracy might not be taken granted for.
