In Accountability in Public Service : Vittal explicitly recommends 'Margaret Thatcher-style agencification' of two-thirds of departmental functions as a structural reform model for Indian public administration.
In Economic Prophecies : Thatcher is invoked in Amin's roll-call of post-1978 global vindications of Shenoy — the Thatcher and Reagan turn, the Soviet collapse, and India's 1991 reforms together stand as retrospective proof that Shenoy's anti-statist diagnosis was correct.
In The Essence of Democracy : Thatcher's re-election is cited to illustrate the first-past-the-post system's distortion of democratic outcomes — she won a parliamentary majority with a minority of votes — demonstrating the need for electoral reform.

Excerpts (1)
- The Essence of Democracy
- "the recent re-election of Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, however, welcome it might be on political grounds, illustrates the archaic nature of this system, since she obtained only a minority of votes cast but a big majority in Parliament" · Thatcher's electoral victory used as evidence of proportional representation's superiority over first-past-the-post
