Excess Growth of Tertiary Sector-A Reply

Excess Growth of Tertiary Sector?
A Reply R Nagaraj AS stated at the beginning of our comment (Nagaraj, 1991) on Bhattacharya and Mitra's (B-M) paper [1990], our limited purpose was to examine their assertion: ". . that the tertiary sector has grown relatively faster than alt other sectors throughout the post-independence period of the Indian economy" (p 2445). Evidently B-M's [1991] response, largely reiterating their arguments on the alleged excess growth of tertiary sector, appears to be quite outside the scope of our comment and is hence not discussed here. They could perhaps respond to Ghosh's (1991) remarks on their paper.
