For 50 years after independence, the country struggled with conflicting economic agendas. Massive investment was required for basic infrastructure like ports, airports, power, roads, telecom or urban development. In the final part of 'The Making of a Nation' we see that even though agriculture is the backbone of the economy, urbanization in the 80's, followed by economic liberalization in the 90's, drastically changed the profile of a resurgent India. On the political front, the country has been playing a meaningful role in global peace and disarmament. It has been the voice representing the developing and underdeveloped countries. The film explores the economic, social and political development of the country and the development plans for the future, through a series of interviews and statistics.
