FED:India's mobile revolution - without wires
2013
Overview
\"The cell phone drew India's people into relations with the record-keeping capitalist state more comprehensively than any previous mechanism or technology,\" say [Robin Jeffrey] and [Assa Doron]. New brides often have to surrender their mobiles, as part of a dismantling of their previous social networks. Recent horrific rapes in urban India get blamed on the taunting video image of the mobile wali [girl] who \"danced, smiled, drank, smoked and wore skimpy clothes - all with a mobile phone in her hand\". The effort to stop the tide is probably futile. Mobile phones give the young their own space and encourage people generally to do new things. \"As a disruptive tool, the cell phone suited democratic India admirably,\" say Jeffrey and Doron.
