Digital Volcano for an honest India.

“Web Applications are not the answer, to all your common worries”…….
Soon after the emergence of Mr. Narendra Modi in 2014, among all the implications from black money to corruption free governance, Digital technology and E-governance boomed at a large scale as a panacea for addressing all the issues of the common people. While digital governance seems to be the most transparent form of governance with lesser opportunities for circumvention but not completely fraudulent free.
On July 1, 2015 two years ago when Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi launched the “Digital India” Program with a purview to enlarge digital literacy among the country people providing high speed Internet facilities and wifi in six crore rural as well as urban areas, was sought to be a well admiring step by the government. Giant companies like Facebook, Google, oracle and top CEOs from India and abroad committed to invest approximate ₹224.5 lakh crore (US$3.3 trillion) extravagantly towards this initiative awaiting to extract larger profits while luring the Indian market. There is no harm in believing that digitisation lessens the dodging parameters in the community ultimately leading to a less corrupt society.
Apart from all the pros associated with the digital technological advancements, one should not neglect that it is not a service directly governed by the God but rather it is the same human being controlling its occurrences particularly restricted to common man’s reach but well approachable to the concerned authorities. one of the biggest example is the EVM-Tampering rows created in controversies these days, Earlier in 1999 when Electronic Voting Machine was introduced in India nobody thought of it coming under clouds of suspicion but what is happening is all in front of us.
No technology is a full proof technology, especially when you talk of web technologies, when during its developmental stages the perspective of security was not at all kept in view. Currently, we are all trying our level best to whitewash it with multi layered security laps whereas the challenges of cyber security is still left unmet.

It scares me everyday, I walk by the roadside, crossing crowded lanes, disorderly crowds, cults of any religious views even of my own….. It is astounding for me or anybody with an healthy state of mind that an e-rickshaw driver is beaten to death by youths of a Central University, Delhi university for not allowing them to pee in public space. The kind of enraged community development happening across is deplorable in the human society. It is a serious concern for research, what led the people of India become so outrageous in the past three years. It earnestly need to be addressed, if the low rise in employment than expected or the advent of new media technology cum digital India is to be held responsible. In the incident that took place at Rampur, Uttar Pradesh shivered my heart, where two girls were molested open...

Intolerance : who made this thing?

| By: Altamash Khan | Intolerance has sought to be one of the biggest challenge in India post 2014 loksabha elections. After the uprising of the Hindutva ideologue in a span of last three years many new eggs have been hatched into the society in the name of religion and tradition albeit known for the massively rich cultural diversity. You would hardly remember to see words such as intolerance, muslims, hindutva, polarisation before 2014 era. what happened to the society all of a sudden that sees itself not polarised but re-polarised again and again. Where has the assimilating behaviour of we Indians lost on the dusty roads of politics. Be it Beef, religious practises or any conflicts which is incongruous to us thus, creating a gap between the blended varied community of our country. Where has the quality of forming a pleasing and the complete whole lost ? So many questions alike might hover to your mind if you maintain an non-yogic healthy state of mind. According to WHO, a...

Excessive digitisation without awareness.

By: Altamash Khan. Nothing other than rumours lead to lynchings and mass murders, It is all well known to each one of us. Two days back when in the old city of Aligarh, a buzz left on what's app and Facebook about the demolishing of the Mosque created a riot like situation in the city. Albeit the truth was just not even 0.5% of the same. It was just a matter of replacing the old Minaret of the Mosque with a new one, enlarging the diameter of the same. Soon after the District Administration stepped in and came to the conclusion by a peaceful assimilation of the duo-community. Similarly, the situation of Jharkhand where six people were lynched in a short span of two-three days in the name child lifting gangs, where the administration kept on ascertaining that no such gangs is active in the locality and if it persists it is the job of the Police to solve the case not the common people, But what happened is ahead all of us. Reminiscent and indistinguishable repeated ...
