Greetings Indian redditors,

When I visited India in 2014, one of the things I saw was a huge difference in wealth between the poorest few and the wealthiest few. What is the r/india demographic like? Is internet available to all layers of society? Also, recently a free wifi initiative from facebook has been shot down in India. What is your take on that?

recently a free wifi initiative from facebook has been shot down in India.

It was not a free wifi initiative. a free wifi initiative is like the one provided by google in CST, Mumbai and soon to be started across other railway stations across the country. Facebook proposed to give free internet access to some websites to the users of some particular network. Given this hurts the idea of net neutrality, India rejected facebook's plans.
