Twenty years back a child could be left with a gadget for hours altogether. The engineer inside would break the grown-up toy apart, piece by piece, component by component while enjoying every bit of this exercise. Today, perhaps, it would not be so much fun. Most components come from the same side of the atlas. Most components are hard to distinguish or separate. And most devices refuse to even open in the first place.
Maybe, this game could change ten years from now and the child in India would revel in the excitement of counting how many components are labelled Made in India. While India is focusing on becoming the global hub of manufacturing, especially high-tech hardware and equipment, providing tax incentives and drafting new policies, the 'maybe' still seems years away.
