The relationship between information and the nation-state is
typically portrayed as a face-off involving repressive state power
and democratic flows: Twitter and the Arab Spring, Google in China,
WikiLeaks and the U.S. State Department. Less attention has been
paid to those scenarios where states have regarded information and
its diffusion as productive of modernity and globalization. It is
the central argument of this book that the contemporary
nation-state, especially in the global South, is far from hostile
to the current informational milieu and in fact makes crucial use
of it in order to develop adequate modes of governance,
communication and sociality in a networked world. This book focuses
on India - an emerging country that has recently witnessed a
"software miracle" - to highlight the critical role informatics has
historically played in the national imagination and to demonstrate
how the state, private capital and civic society have drawn upon
and engaged the precepts and protocols of the information age to
fashion an "info-nation."
