South India: Dust, chaos but above all, people

It is 6am, 26º degrees outside and an army of Tuktuk drivers is already fighting between each other to gain the right of ripping us off for the trip from the Chhatrapati international airport to our hostel. Finally one of them manages to get 300 rupees from us (220 over the normal price they would have charged a local). The 70 years old grandpa hits the road like there is no tomorrow. Us, we pray not to die smashed against other reckless Tuktuk or Taxi drivers who seem not understand the difference between a 3 and 6 car lanes road. Thirty minutes later, we arrive to Bombay Backpackers Hostel, placed in the middle of a poor and very low working class neighborhood. The surroundings and the outside look of the hostel make us wonder whether this place is actually our home for next 3 days or a shelter for homeless people. But once inside we find out it’s a really cozy place to stay with awesome staff to help us out with any doubt or trouble we come up with.

Our hostel security guard, not too much in guard

During our first days in Mumbai, our expectations were to get to know the city, visit its best spots, and get used to Indian food and culture. But the reality was that we ended up walking more than 5 hours per day (Google Maps is not always your best friend in India), burning our tongues even with Indian breakfasts, freaking out with the chaotic traffic and the endless car honking, and having troubles to find more than 3 or 4 touristy wow places to visit (Gateway of India, Elephant Island and our favorite, Dhobi Ghat, the biggest open air laundry in the world with more than 6.000 people working there every day). But that was completely our fault. The beauty of India lies not on the outside and its monuments, but on its people, their different cultures, races, religions, costumes and their ways to get to your heart and your wallet.

Bad keedz doing average touristy things

Hey yo, cow ya doing?

Dhobi Ghat open air laundry

After a few days in Mumbai, we took a direct flight to Hyderabad to visit Bhuvie, an old Indian friend of us. We stayed at his p(a)lace and he showed us around a bit of the city. Among our accomplishments list while in Hyderabad, we can mark off: smoking hookah at Space Club, partying in the best rooftop club of the city with Bhuvan’s brother Anvesh and his friends, watching XXX movie with Vin Diesel in the second biggest screen in the world and visiting Charmina (the 400 year old city gate, surrounded by many magnificent mosques that will make you think you are in the Ancient Arabia). It was the perfect way to acclimatize ourselves after our shocking landing in Mumbai.

They try, but their Paellas have nothing to do with ours

Do you fancy some goat’s knuckles and brains soaked in the spiciest cauldron sauce ever? :D

Charminar gate surrounded by snacks and sweet street stands

After Hyderabad, we took a 7 hours bumpy drive with Bhuvan and his friends, and visited the city of Hampi which has some of the most ancient and incredible constructions of the whole country. We visited Virupaksha Temple, whose construction dates from the 7th century and it was inhabited by funny baboons or majestic elephants.

Virupaksha Temple

We left Hampi and we headed to Bangalore, another massive southern metropolis with too much traffic and people living there, rather than interesting stuff to see or visit. The few spots that you can’t miss are all the flowers and food stands in Gandhi Bazaar and the old restaurant Vidyarthi Bhavan where you will have one of the cheapest and nicest Indian breakfasts in the city. To be honest, the thing we will remember the most Bangalore for, will be the awesome Night Sleeper Bus we took to keep heading south to Kerala. If you are going to travel long distances, this is one of the best and most affordable ways to do it. Just cross your fingers not to end up sleeping next to Mr. Smelly Feet!

Flowers stands at Ghandi Bazaar in Bangalore

We arrived to the city of Cochin, and the first thing we felt automatically was that we were definitely somewhere different. The weather was more sticky and humid, car honks were almost unnoticeable compared to the previous cities we were at, and people at the streets seemed to be more relaxed and chilled. Following days we stayed in the city of Alleppey, where we had booked our hostel, the Artpackers Life Hostel. The owner Vivek, was extremely welcoming and thoughtful to us, and the hostel was the perfect place to spend a couple of days driving in some rented scooters to the nearest beaches and meeting plenty of locals as well as other cool and laid back backpackers.

Beach of Alleppey, in the southern region of Kerala

We left our awesome hostel in Alleppey and jumped into a nice train heading to the city of Thiruvananthapuram (yes, it is also impossible to pronounce). City that besides the large number of Hindu temples, will be also remembered for murdering the intestines of one of us (we never said we would talk only about fancy stuff, did we? :))

Traveling with Indian Railways have also its advantages ;)

Next stop was the city of Pondicherry, the old French colonial settlement in India until 1954. The city reminded us of an old, mediterranean relaxed city with a nice mix of Indian spices. The old White Town is still full of nice Villas and French cafés, along with the nice sea promenade. But surprisingly for us, apart from some attempts of french bakeries and some names of streets, we found not many french remainders and not a single person on the streets who could still speak the Romance language. But all in all, Pondicherry has been the city we have got to love the most so far. Still noisy and crowded, but also colourful, laid back and with nice and quiet beaches around.

While in Pondicherry, we drove up to the city of Auroville to find out what was all the fuzz we had seen in many videos before. Wikipedia defines it as a “universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities”. But what we found was more like a fancy hippie summer resort, with massive spend on international marketing and many catchy and looped proclaims from their Leeeader…erm…I mean, mother.

At least they know how to build hugee golden golf balls!

Sooo after our first half of the month in India, we learned that:

Nothing can beat traffic in Mumbai. Everyone has an international friend who thinks the traffic in its country is the worst one. This is because they have never visited India. Here, there are literally so many people populating each city, that driving lanes and traffic signs represent just a cute invention of the west countries for them.

Live and embrace life outdoors. In India, as many other oriental countries you can do everything on the street. From eating a dish of chicken Biryani with your bare hands, to buying some vegetables, fruits and (not so fresh) meat and fish, or even getting a fresh shave with that weird looking guy on the corner.

City trains are just for the brave ones. It is this simple. If you take them, you will undoubtedly find out next person’s personal deodorant choice (or lack of). All of this assuming that you will be lucky enough to get inside the wagon first without being buried by the crowd of people trying to hop in at the same time.

Prepare your push and squeeze, push and squeeze…

Prepare your rupees and forget about using your debit card. 90% of the restaurants and stores in India will not accept payments with international cards, so plan ahead for it!

Don’t try to understand Indian Railways system. Trains in India are always super packed (Surprise!), so if you don’t book a demanded train with one or two weeks in advance, chances are you will go to the Waiting list. And does that mean I will not get my ticket? Only Shiva knows, and in case she decides you should not get it, it will be up to you to cancel the ticket on time if you want a refund. Indians…

Just another average train station in India

Queues are for losers in India. Don’t waste your time waiting in line (there is not even one) before any street food shop or kiosk. Either you leave your manners at home and yell louder for your Mango smoothie than the guy next to you, or you will wait forever. Your call.

And in India, you are the Rockstar. If you want to know what a movie or music star feels like when they decide to show up in public, just to travel to India. We lost already the count of how many selfies we have been asked to take with the locals or how many surprised people are staring at us on each step we take in the city. We take it with humor and are always ready to bring our most stupid faces.

Yes, of course we can take another selfie with you guys, we just took 27 other ones today :D

Quote

In the mid 90s, Bill Gates released his first book, The Road Ahead, and it blew our minds. Or at least one part of it did (I never managed to read much of it). In it, Gates described the Seattle home he was then building with inlaid fiber optic cables where each room would have its own unobtrusive touchpad to control the lights, music and temperature. Best of all, as you entered a room, it’d automatically customise those elements and even wall paintings (via LCD screens) based on personal preferences, all pinged via an electronic pin everyone in the house would wear. I was reminded of that moment from a quarter century ago as I listened to a recent webinar on access to the internet in India, organised by Agami, the law and justice organisation where I work. Much of Gates’ fantastic vision has become widely available today in the form of mobile phones, smart devices and apps – all of them powered by the internet, and what he then romantically called the Information Highway. In a socially distanced landscape, addressing the 'digital ditch' is more essential than ever. Representational image from Reuters/Kacper Pempel Now in our elastically wrenching world, Gates is having another moment of prescience (as well as right-wing data hacks and conspiracy theories), this time with brighter sweaters and a thinner, papery voice. Whatever you think of him, he did baldly predict in his 2015 TED talk that “the greatest risk of global catastrophe” was not nuclear war but “most likely a highly infectious virus...not missiles but microbes”. The march of the internet into our lives, taking over every aspect and every hour, is so ubiquitous it doesn't need much emphasis or spelling out. And concurrently, neither does the fact that as more than a fifth of humanity frets under some form of lockdown and the rest practices swivel-eyed social distancing, we are all keeping up some semblance of normalcy by going online. A recent survey found that internet browsing shot up by 72 percent in the first week of lockdown in India. Online is where we are all talking and conferencing and texting, sharing parody videos, moving our money, dropping out of online courses, asking doctors about pulse oximeters, damning house cleaning bloggers, thanking recipe writers for using metric measurements, rediscovering celebrities for their shenanigans and, of course, unquenchably consuming the news and ordering more and more supplies even as we feel all Zoomed out. The new economy is not so new anymore, and it’s vital to say this aloud: Our economy is now vastly inaccessible without the internet. All the platforms, gateways and content are useless without it. Yet according to government data by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), only about half of Indians have access to the basic broadband speed of 512 Kbps or more. Last year’s IAMAI-Nielsen study found an even wider gap of only 36 percent of Indians having internet access in the first place. And only a third of them are women. This is not a digital divide anymore. This is a digital ditch. Which means, half to two-thirds of the country are in an economic ditch. Much of the high speed and reliable networks have been first laid in urban centres, and the work on Digital India programmes has not kept pace with the gradually devolving economy or the current COVID-19 crisis. Perhaps some of this slowness is due to decision makers still not quite accepting that the internet has moved this fast from being a useful luxury to an essential resource? Or is it more of a lingering bias that rural or disadvantaged Indians just don't need as much internet as people like us? Either way, the numbers tell a different story. Of all ‘regular users’ in India (who accessed the internet in the last 30 days), 40 percent are actually rural users – and that base is growing much faster than the urban one. More than 50 percent of rural customers are willing to go online to buy goods. Two thirds of all existing Indian internet users are in the 12-29 year age group, and in general this age group resides much more in rural than urban India. Data usage in rural India increased by almost 100 percent during the lockdown. And all this when rural internet penetration stands at only 27 percent (versus 51 percent in urban areas). In January, the Supreme Court declared access to the internet a fundamental right under Article 19 of the Constitution. This was in response to a plea on the internet blockade in Jammu & Kashmir since last summer’s revoking of Article 370. Since then, there has been only partial lifting of the digital ban there – only 2G speeds for postpaid mobiles while prepaid sims still have to get verified – despite mounting reports that lack of high-speed internet is hobbling the medical community and accelerating the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region. Justice Badar Durrez Ahmed, retired Chief Justice of the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir, as well as Rahul Matthan, Partner at Trilegal law firm, criticised such internet shutdowns at the Agami webinar. They both cited similar metaphors comparing the internet today to essential services like water and electricity, and how authorities don’t switch them off to some citizens when convenient. Now, the internet has thankfully been deemed an essential service by the Home Ministry during the national lockdown, but there doesn’t seem much more on the government’s agenda here. “I don't think the [central] government has realised how critical this infrastructure is,” Aruna Sundararajan, former Telecom Secretary of India, said at the webinar. “I served on the COVID taskforce in Kerala and we devoted a whole chapter to seeing how to ensure internet services wouldn’t get disrupted, how there’d [actually] be a 30-40 percent increase in availability. We put in suggestions that people who normally don’t have access somehow need to be given it because they’re the ones who need it the most.” Governments and companies worldwide are hustling to ensure that their citizens remain online. Chile is offering a “solidarity plan" for affordable internet in partnership with private companies, while Thailand has granted 10 GB of free data to mobile users. Egypt has given free SIM cards to students and borne the cost of a 20 percent increase in all subscribers' monthly downloads. In the US, the telecom regulator negotiated with more than 50 major internet providers to get them to agree to suspend data and speed caps, suspend shutoffs and late fees, waive installation fees, provide free service and other schemes for low-income users and open Wi-Fi hotspots for the public. Meanwhile, the major telecom and broadband companies in India have offered some initiatives like free incoming calls to low-income users, Airtel and BSNL have provided extended mobile validity and Rs 10 talktime free, while Jio Phone users have got 100 minutes and 100 SMS free. Meanwhile, ACT Fibernet has offered free upgrades of unlimited data and 300 Mbps speed, Jio Fiber has offered free 10 Mbps connections to new users and double data to existing ones, and Jio has offered free broadband in some places. Some say that in this crisis, the Indian government needs to pitch in much more such as reduce red tape to enable telecom companies to build capacity fast, incentivise them to increase data limits and subsidise costs, and even use disaster relief funds to build public Wi-Fi zones. There were a host of other solutions proposed at the webinar as well. Sundararajan said the government must build the infrastructure for 4G access for all Indians – and pointed out that this is actually possible in just 6-12 months – as well as finish the incomplete project to lay fiber optic cables for 2.5 lakh gram panchayats. Sundararajan and Apar Gupta, Executive Director of Internet Freedom Foundation, also recommended that the pending Data Protection Bill be enacted to address cybersecurity concerns as citizens go online. Justice Ahmed suggested engaging the local Legal Services Authorities across the country to provide internet and justice access to their constituencies, while Matthan emphasised the right to broadband rather than just internet as a more realistic need today. Gupta recommended voluntary pledges by telecom companies to not disconnect connections for non-payment during this crisis, actualising a network neutrality enforcement mechanism in telecom licenses for private entities, and regulatory reform in telecom suspension rules to guard against internet shutdowns. The non-profit Jan Sahas has reported that a significant proportion of the distress calls they’re receiving are actually requests to recharge mobile phone accounts. “In the next 12-24 months we’ll have restrictions of some kind,” said Sundararajan, “and the need for internet is only going to exponentially accelerate.” We can’t meaningfully talk about justice for the offline world anymore, given its sharp marginalisation from most mainstream social, political and economic activity. The fact is that those of us in the information or service economies are not the only ones who need the internet, not anymore. For most of this century, all Indians have needed it to lead fuller and fully connected lives; the big difference in the last few years is that we now also need it to be fuller consumers. And in a landscape that promises to be socially distanced for the next one to two years, all of us need it whether we are in the organised or unorganised sector. There is the case of access to justice, and there is the case for access to a healthy life. Getting all citizens online is surely the one reliable way to unite them in following mandates for the greater good while giving them a way to access basic needs. And getting everyone online would also surely create a permanent resource to help the Indian economy leap away from the cliff it’s getting overfamiliar with.

Coronavirus crisis underscores urgency of bridging divide between India's digital haves and have-nots

I was reminded of that moment from a quarter century ago as I listened to a recent webinar on access to the internet in India, organised by Agami, the law and justice organisation where I work. Much of Gates’ fantastic vision has become widely available today in the form of mobile phones, smart devices and apps – all of them powered by the internet, and what he then romantically called the Information Highway.

Last year’s IAMAI-Nielsen study found an even wider gap of only 36 percent of Indians having internet access in the first place. And only a third of them are women.

This is not a digital divide anymore. This is a digital ditch.

Which means, half to two-thirds of the country are in an economic ditch.

Much of the high speed and reliable networks have been first laid in urban centres, and the work on Digital India programmes has not kept pace with the gradually devolving economy or the current COVID-19 crisis. Perhaps some of this slowness is due to decision makers still not quite accepting that the internet has moved this fast from being a useful luxury to an essential resource? Or is it more of a lingering bias that rural or disadvantaged Indians just don't need as much internet as people like us?

Either way, the numbers tell a different story. Of all ‘regular users’ in India (who accessed the internet in the last 30 days), 40 percent are actually rural users – and that base is growing much faster than the urban one. More than 50 percent of rural customers are willing to go online to buy goods. Two thirds of all existing Indian internet users are in the 12-29 year age group, and in general this age group resides much more in rural than urban India. Data usage in rural India increased by almost 100 percent during the lockdown. And all this when rural internet penetration stands at only 27 percent (versus 51 percent in urban areas).

In January, the Supreme Court declared access to the internet a fundamental right under Article 19 of the Constitution. This was in response to a plea on the internet blockade in Jammu & Kashmir since last summer’s revoking of Article 370. Since then, there has been only partial lifting of the digital ban there – only 2G speeds for postpaid mobiles while prepaid sims still have to get verified – despite mounting reports that lack of high-speed internet is hobbling the medical community and accelerating the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region.

Justice Badar Durrez Ahmed, retired Chief Justice of the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir, as well as Rahul Matthan, Partner at Trilegal law firm, criticised such internet shutdowns at the Agami webinar. They both cited similar metaphors comparing the internet today to essential services like water and electricity, and how authorities don’t switch them off to some citizens when convenient.

Now, the internet has thankfully been deemed an essential service by the Home Ministry during the national lockdown, but there doesn’t seem much more on the government’s agenda here. “I don't think the [central] government has realised how critical this infrastructure is,” Aruna Sundararajan, former Telecom Secretary of India, said at the webinar. “I served on the COVID taskforce in Kerala and we devoted a whole chapter to seeing how to ensure internet services wouldn’t get disrupted, how there’d [actually] be a 30-40 percent increase in availability. We put in suggestions that people who normally don’t have access somehow need to be given it because they’re the ones who need it the most.”

Governments and companies worldwide are hustling to ensure that their citizens remain online. Chile is offering a “solidarity plan" for affordable internet in partnership with private companies, while Thailand has granted 10 GB of free data to mobile users. Egypt has given free SIM cards to students and borne the cost of a 20 percent increase in all subscribers' monthly downloads. In the US, the telecom regulator negotiated with more than 50 major internet providers to get them to agree to suspend data and speed caps, suspend shutoffs and late fees, waive installation fees, provide free service and other schemes for low-income users and open Wi-Fi hotspots for the public.

Meanwhile, the major telecom and broadband companies in India have offered some initiatives like free incoming calls to low-income users, Airtel and BSNL have provided extended mobile validity and Rs 10 talktime free, while Jio Phone users have got 100 minutes and 100 SMS free. Meanwhile, ACT Fibernet has offered free upgrades of unlimited data and 300 Mbps speed, Jio Fiber has offered free 10 Mbps connections to new users and double data to existing ones, and Jio has offered free broadband in some places.

Some say that in this crisis, the Indian government needs to pitch in much more such as reduce red tape to enable telecom companies to build capacity fast, incentivise them to increase data limits and subsidise costs, and even use disaster relief funds to build public Wi-Fi zones. There were a host of other solutions proposed at the webinar as well. Sundararajan said the government must build the infrastructure for 4G access for all Indians – and pointed out that this is actually possible in just 6-12 months – as well as finish the incomplete project to lay fiber optic cables for 2.5 lakh gram panchayats. Sundararajan and Apar Gupta, Executive Director of Internet Freedom Foundation, also recommended that the pending Data Protection Bill be enacted to address cybersecurity concerns as citizens go online.

Justice Ahmed suggested engaging the local Legal Services Authorities across the country to provide internet and justice access to their constituencies, while Matthan emphasised the right to broadband rather than just internet as a more realistic need today. Gupta recommended voluntary pledges by telecom companies to not disconnect connections for non-payment during this crisis, actualising a network neutrality enforcement mechanism in telecom licenses for private entities, and regulatory reform in telecom suspension rules to guard against internet shutdowns.

The non-profit Jan Sahas has reported that a significant proportion of the distress calls they’re receiving are actually requests to recharge mobile phone accounts. “In the next 12-24 months we’ll have restrictions of some kind,” said Sundararajan, “and the need for internet is only going to exponentially accelerate.” We can’t meaningfully talk about justice for the offline world anymore, given its sharp marginalisation from most mainstream social, political and economic activity.

The fact is that those of us in the information or service economies are not the only ones who need the internet, not anymore. For most of this century, all Indians have needed it to lead fuller and fully connected lives; the big difference in the last few years is that we now also need it to be fuller consumers. And in a landscape that promises to be socially distanced for the next one to two years, all of us need it whether we are in the organised or unorganised sector.

There is the case of access to justice, and there is the case for access to a healthy life. Getting all citizens online is surely the one reliable way to unite them in following mandates for the greater good while giving them a way to access basic needs. And getting everyone online would also surely create a permanent resource to help the Indian economy leap away from the cliff it’s getting overfamiliar with.

In the mid 90s, Bill Gates released his first book, The Road Ahead, and it blew our minds. Or at least one part of it did (I never managed to read much of it). In it, Gates described the Seattle home he was then building with inlaid fiber optic cables where each room would have its own unobtrusive touchpad to control the lights, music and temperature. Best of all, as you entered a room, it’d automatically customise those elements and even wall paintings (via LCD screens) based on personal preferences, all pinged via an electronic pin everyone in the house would wear. I was reminded of that moment from a quarter century ago as I listened to a recent webinar on access to the internet in India, organised by Agami, the law and justice organisation where I work. Much of Gates’ fantastic vision has become widely available today in the form of mobile phones, smart devices and apps – all of them powered by the internet, and what he then romantically called the Information Highway. Now in our elastically wrenching world, Gates is having another moment of prescience (as well as right-wing data hacks and conspiracy theories), this time with brighter sweaters and a thinner, papery voice. Whatever you think of him, he did baldly predict in his 2015 TED talk that “the greatest risk of global catastrophe” was not nuclear war but “most likely a highly infectious virus...not missiles but microbes”. The march of the internet into our lives, taking over every aspect and every hour, is so ubiquitous it doesn't need much emphasis or spelling out. And concurrently, neither does the fact that as more than a fifth of humanity frets under some form of lockdown and the rest practices swivel-eyed social distancing, we are all keeping up some semblance of normalcy by going online. A recent survey found that internet browsing shot up by 72 percent in the first week of lockdown in India. Online is where we are all talking and conferencing and texting, sharing parody videos, moving our money, dropping out of online courses, asking doctors about pulse oximeters, damning house cleaning bloggers, thanking recipe writers for using metric measurements, rediscovering celebrities for their shenanigans and, of course, unquenchably consuming the news and ordering more and more supplies even as we feel all Zoomed out.
