Review: "Recent advances in information and communications technologies or ICTs seemed to have opened up new opportunities for India as a major exporter of software and information technology-enabled services (ITES), thanks to globalisation and liberalisation of the domestic economy. This theoretically and empirically engaging volume takes stock of the larger impact and implications of the ICT revolution on Indian economy and society; specifically, it reflects on and analyses the political economy of informational development in India."--BOOK JACKET.
