The document raises several questions about India's participation in and leadership of the digital age:
- How many Indians are truly innovating new web technologies rather than imitating Silicon Valley?
- How many Indians are using the web for more than just emails and e-commerce?
- Are Indians using social media and web 2.0 technologies to empower rural communities and further social development?
- Should web 2.0 evolve to promote local empowerment in India or globalization?
The document calls on India to wake up and lead the digital future.
