The Indian Fiscal Problem: Being A Course Of Seven Lectures Delivered At Patna University In August 1923

The Indian Fiscal Problem" by J.C. Coyajee is a seminal series of seven lectures delivered at Patna University in 1923. The book analyzes the complexities of British India's fiscal system, focusing on taxation, public expenditure, trade policy, and revenue distribution between the Centre and provinces. Coyajee critiques colonial economic policies and argues for greater Indian financial autonomy and restructuring of fiscal relations. His insights reflect early Indian economic nationalism and provide a foundational understanding of India’s struggle for economic self-determination under British rule.
