What do you see in the India of today? A total lack of governance accountability. And a legion of NGOs who have set it on themselves to bring about democratic reform.

The one difference between governance and democratic reform in several first world countries and India is data. A very smart comment on an entrepreneurship blog once remarked - measure everything and thus steer any discussion. Nobody, repeat nobody has a hope in hell of taking one step towards democratic reform till you engineer the government to be more free flowing - in terms of information, processes, statistics, identification.

A digital government is the foundation on which reform can take place.

The job of this blog is very specific - I intend to propose and define architecture and processes which unblocks some of the kinks in the flow of governance information. It is not my job to comment upon policies - I hope and want to enable someone else to be able to do that, enabled by my digital government.
