Read the passage and answer the following:

1. The revolution in information technology (IT), far from helping India to leapfrog to a post

industrial society, threatens to rupture the social fabric by enriching a few at the cost of many.

2. In a very short time and quite unexpectedly, India has risen to considerable eminence in the

world of information technology. This year, software products are expected to account for $ 5.7

billion in exports and will account for a quarter of the growth in the economy, which is

55 countries, India ranks 54th on its Information Society Index.

6. The fact is, it is a straightforward reflection of the deep inequality of our education system

which breeds a few ‘geniuses’ at the cost of the entire nation. A study by former director of the

National Centre for Software Technology, R. Narasimhan, points out that nowhere is the digital

divide more glaring than in IT education. The report warns that India’s ‘obsession’ with the​
