With the example of the USSR and China, central planning excels for an initial industrialization. The state of Indian industry now is that where China has difficulty outsourcing to the region. I remember an article linked on this site praising India for not relying on electricity for industrial labor, but that is a sign of underdevelopment of infrastructure. Infrastructure is something that is usually invested in by the state. Culture is a major reason, and cultural revolutions were a method to reorient the population to a new societal goal. An Indian mentality can be summed up as "doing the needful" without questioning what it is.
