Administrative map of India has been subject to periodic changes of great magnitude since the first year of Independence. Although numerous studies are available on the evolving administrative map of India yet seldom has an attempt been made to understand the aftermath of any such change. The present book Administration and Development in Indian States is a commendable exception. It is designed to examine the implications of any restructuring of administrative organization of space for the development process. Haryana is the case adopted for such a study. Right kinds of questions have been raised. How a prevailing spatial system of administration gets disrupted when reconstituted into new units? What has been the Haryana experience? Is it better off or worse off after its separation from Punjab? A stimulating question was raised in the context of Haryana story. What is the optimal size of a state in India? Should the country have larger and fewer states or opt for smaller and additional ones? This question should rather be referred to the stage of country's development. Larger units are most desired in the initial stage of development when the laying out of extensive infrastructure is the basic issue. In the transitional stage, small size is favoured because it is conducive to intensive development. Finally, at a high level of development, bigger units are recommended as these allow the operation of economies of scale with the help of advanced technology.
