It is an axiom of early postcolonial Indian history that Nehru and his statist conception of nationalism and of economic development dominated the political and economic life of India. As such, scholars have assumed, Gandhian ideas, especially radically non-statist answers to the problems of development, lost influence in this period. This article explores Gandhian economic thinking, in the form of the Bhoodan Movement and three of the thinkers on sarvodaya economics in the 1950s, Vinoba Bhave, K.G. Mashruwala and J.C. Kumarappa.

It argues that non-statist ideas remained important in the development of postcolonial Indian nationalism
