Digital India is an initiation by the Indian Government to make all the government services easily available online by improving online infrastructure (The virtual world) and by increasing internet connectivity. We are all taught in our schools, colleges etc to prioritize our tasks according to their importance. Many of us fail in doing that, but still none of us deny it. Everyone of us agrees on prioritizing tasks according to their importance is a very helpful idea for the betterment of all.
When we talk about anything digital, it sounds interesting, easily accessible, time saving. We make online friends, some make their love relationships over the internet. But how sure are we about its genuineness? We have no clue who the opposite person is unless we know him / her personally in the real world. The irony is people talk negative about the internet over the internet. Writing wrong about the virtual world in the virtual world.
Everything has its own pros and cons. Take anything for that matter. Take life itself. Haven’t people defined life in their own ways? Haven’t people disproved those definitions with better definitions? There are again better definitions keep coming to disprove all the old ones. But still people are alive. The world hasn’t stopped progressing just because life has many disadvantages. It is in fact growing each day.
Digital India or Food Shelter and Clothes?
We have forgotten the difference b/w BITES and BYTES
Digital India is important with its own benefits, but not as important as food, shelter and clothes which are the basic human needs. Haven’t humans survived without the virtual world? There are still so many people who don’t even know to access the internet, but they are making wonders without it. I personally feel Digital India should not be given the priority over the human basic needs. When India has hungers to be fed, thinking about Digital India would be inhuman.

“Humra pait bharat naahi, TV kahan se leube (we are not able to fill our stomach, how will we buy a television),”
Oblivious of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s US tour which had dominated television news space, leave alone his meetings with Apple CEO Tim Cook or Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, they are still waiting for a political messiah expecting some help for their real world. And, we are all worried about Digital India.
