Computing in the age of decolonization : India’s lost technological revolution: India’s lost technological revolution / Dwaipayan Banerjee. - Princeton: Princeton, 2026.
India today is widely recognized for producing world-class tech talent and Silicon Valley leaders, yet captures only a fraction of the global tech industry’s profits, primarily providing skilled but inexpensive labor for Western corporations. Computing in the Age of Decolonization uncovers the overlooked history behind this paradox, tracing India’s ambitious but ultimately thwarted drive to build a self-reliant computing industry from the 1950s to the 1980s.
