This is Why India’s EVMs Best in World; Secure, Robust, Tamper Proof

New Delhi: All of a sudden this month the nifty Indian invention, the unique electronic voting machines that were hailed to be the harbingers of free and fair elections in India, are being made out to be the villains of the piece.

The machines are the same and nobody has ever hacked them, the problem could lie elsewhere in depleting political values.

European Commission Suspends WhatsApp Operation Over Sharing User Data

How Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio Fooled us in the Name of Cheaper Data

Disclaimer:  We got this brilliant analytical piece about newly launched Reliance Jio scheme (of almost free data) from WhatsApp. We are publishing it because it shows the other side – which is obviously not so good - of the so called revolutionary idea, to promote awareness.  In the name of fulfilling PM Modi’s dream for Digital India, Reliance used his image in its full page advertisement but the question remains unanswered. How will it help India to be more Digital ? Did Reliance Jio make false promises to make profit? Is Reliance Making the hay while sun is shining? We would like to know the name of the author. If any one can send us, that will be a great help.  I must admit that I was euphoric over the Reliance Jio launch. Also, thanks to the media hype, I initial...
