- Human Security in India, a Mixed Bag Ash Narain Roy Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Freedom Human Security Human Development State Intervention Democratic Governance With security being viewed as ensuring protection from physical and mental harm, freedom from want and fear, human security has moved to the centre stage of the global development agenda. This paper argues that even with low income, one can achieve higher human development like higher life expectancy, lower fertility and high literacy. Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate of India, has characterised it as “development as freedom”. Lack of substantive freedom is inexorably linked to economic poverty and backwardness. Nearly all States in India have succeeded in reducing poverty, but those States with better human development have fared better. The trickle-down alone will not spread the beneÀts of reform. Measured State intervention and adequate provision of safety net s for the vulnerable sec - tions of people are needed to make development more sustainable. Democracy and development go hand in hand. The democratic, accountable and transparent governance is the best insurance against poverty and marginalisation. The test of good governance must be premised on how the State and civil society negotiate differences via constitutional guarantees and political institutions. Go od governance is the key to equitable growth. 2007 artículo científico 0124-4035 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=359633162004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3596 Desafíos application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Desafíos (Colombia) Vol.17
