The Story of India's IT Prowess
By Biman Basu
Inventional Intelligence, April 2009
Today one can do railway and air bookings without stepping out of home. One can pay bills and taxes and do purchases from around the world online. One can withdraw money from ATM anywhere, any day, any time using debit or credit card; one doesn’t need to go to the bank any
more. All this not only means more convenience for the people but also greater efficiency. The driving force behind this change is the emergence of India as a global player in information technology, made possible by several factors including development of skilled manpower,
and pragmatic government policies. Unfortunately, not many users of IT in India are aware of the chequered history of the growth and development of the country’s computer and IT industry. Dinesh C. Sharma’s scholarly volume adequately fills the void. The Long Revolution traces every twist and turn in the long story of India’s IT revolution.
