Normally countries shift from agriculture to industry and then later to services, but India shifted directly from agriculture to services. What are the reasons for the huge growth of services vis-à-vis industry in the country? Can India become a developed country without a strong industrial base?

हिन्दी

सामान्यतः देश कृषि से उद्योग और बाद में सेवाओं को अन्तरित होते हैं पर भारत सीधे ही कृषि से सेवाओं को अन्तरित हो गया है। देश में उद्योग के मुकाबले सेवाओं की विशाल संवृद्धि के क्या कारण हैं? क्या भारत सशक्त औद्योगिक आधार के बिना एक विकसित देश बन सकता है?
