The State, Industrialization and Class Formations in India: a neo-marxist perspective on colonialism, underdevelopment and development is a book by Ekushey Padak laureate Bangladeshi social scientist Professor Dr. Anupam Sen.[1] It describes the nature of the state in India and the role played by it in the evolution of the social economy, particularly in the growth of industry.

[2] This series included 30 books on India containing various topics or problems caused by the British rule.

The former characterized the book as "thoughtful and stimulating":[4] Sen convincingly shows that his account is consistent with much that Marx wrote.

In his most carefully considered work Marx does not unlike many of his acolutes, natively claim that all States act as executive committees for a single ruling class.

[...] Sen successfully shows that Marx saw autonomy –under many conditions, probably including India’s – as it likelier role for ‘the State’ than subservience to one class.
