NEW ECONOMIC POLICY: INDIAN STATE AND BUREAUCRACY 57

has increased its powers because of transnationalisation of Indian market economy.

India is experiencing multi-dimensional crises in a global situation which is under the complete leadership of the advanced industrial countries of the West. Since the Indian State has not decided to operate in a relative autonomous manner in global affairs, it has allowed itself to be pushed around by global capitalism, the only social constituency which supports this globalisation of India is upwardly mobile middle classes and the powerful sections of the bureaucracy who see new career opportunities under globalism. The Indian masses who are the real victims of serious crisis of the economy i.e. the real proletariat classes are victims of ideologies of sectionalism like communalism, casteism, ethnicism and parochailisation. If on the one hand under the impact of false consciousness Indians are becoming highly sectarian the fractions of the ruling classes are globalising the economy of India.
