How Digital India Became the New Divide Between Rich & Poor | Vijender Chauhan

In this thought-provoking episode, we explores India’s growing digital divide - a hidden inequality shaping the future of our nation.

While India celebrates its digital transformation with UPI, DigiLocker, AI, and 5G, nearly 47% of citizens remain offline. Women, rural communities, and marginalized castes are still excluded from the so-called “Digital India.”

We talk about the social, economic, and gender barriers behind this divide - from smartphone affordability and data costs to language barriers, digital literacy, and accessibility issues.
The question isn’t just “Who’s online?” but “Who’s being left behind?”

Watch this video till the end to understand how digital exclusion is becoming India’s new form of inequality - and why acknowledging it is the first step toward a truly inclusive future.
