Digital India: Life In A Connected World
1980s and 90s were the decades when my generation was growing up attuned to song requests made on AIR by people from a non-descript town called “Jhumri Tilaya” and Lalitaji’s pearls of wisdom on which washing powder made our clothes look whiter or how a particular Scooter brand was creating stronger images of stronger India as it was hard to miss on Sunday morning television along with “Ramayana” and “Mahabharata”.We kept trying to save a particular character’s girlfriend in the name of Video games. Digital camera was still a distant dreams to the ubiquitous Camera Rolls, X-Boxes and PlayStation were unheard of and life was about scarcity and limited choices. Things already changed when 90s brought the economic liberalization. I coin that liberalization 1.0.
And testimony to that was on Wednesday 1st July 2015,even a 15,000-capacity stadium in Delhi seemed small for a venue when the Prime Minister launched the “Digital India Week” to empower citizens with the use of IT.
