Independence in the Age of Algorithms: India’s Next Great Mission

In his Independence Day address to the IIIT Hyderabad community, Prof. P J Narayanan, Director, IIIT Hyderabad reiterated that democracy thrives on autonomy – but in today’s world, real independence also means freedom from digital dependence. Prof. Narayanan emphasised that the time has come for India to build its own secure technological foundation. Greetings to all on the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day. August 15th is a very important day for every Indian, as it is the day we attained political independence. An important characteristic of our freedom struggle was its non-violent nature. We built a vibrant democracy that is the envy of the world. But democracy is not only about electing representatives; it’s also about the autonomy to make decisions at local, community, and institutional levels. We should ask ourselves if our autonomy is increasing or decreasing and if we are including everyone in the decision-making process. This is a big challenge for our maturing democracy.
