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
to grow nearly seven per cent. Within eight years, predicts a recent study by McKinsey & Co.
and the National Association of Software & Service Companies (Nasscom), India’s annual IT
exports could hit $ 50 billion about 33 per cent of global softw

of it all.
4. The big question is, will IT do an encore for India as a nation, and not just for a wafer thin
percentage of IT-literate Indians, mostly the poster boys of the IITs?
5. IT has, as yet, failed to touch the lives of the average citizen and India is nowhere close to being
a knowledge economy or society. As per the International Data Corporation (IDC), in a survey of
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
