Technology is rarely seen as liberating for Dalits, most discussions are around social distinctions, and of late, around reservations and violence against Dalits. [...] While people will discuss about the 100 dollar laptop, no one will talk about simple technologies that impact those doing the most unproductive, if not filthy jobs.
Bhupinder questions why technology doesn’t form a part of Dalit discourse. But, isn’t the whole debate about denial of access to knowledge and its tools?
