TAVLEEN SINGH'S ALARM BELLS
9 February, 1997

Sir,
Tavleen Singh’s alarm bells on the danger of India falling off the map of the world ( IE, 9/2) should be taken very seriously by both the Government and the people of India. The 21st. Century will be the century of Information Technology. India missed the bus when industrial revolution was raging in the West. This time around we are masters of our own destiny and cannot blame others if we missed the opportunity to take our due place in the line up of the nations. At a practical level, Government should strive everything, short of making Bill Gates, Honorary President of India, to usher in the new age of Information. Eight hundred million people of India connected to world life-lines, will assuredly contribute to a better and more meaningful future for the humankind.
