- This 100,000-word monograph investigates the growing digital divide in contemporary India. It is the result of sustained research based upon the gathering and analysing of a large body of primary material, specifically over 300 governmental, commercial and media reports and policy statements. Both the print and digital materials were collected on research trips to India between 2014 and 2017. The material was widely dispersed and disaggregated, and therefore required considerable research time and effort to gather, quantify and analyse systematically. The resulting monograph provides an in-depth analysis of a much-debated topic from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives.
