AUTHORITIES ARE ALARMED BY THE EXPANDING SWAY OF OVERSEAS ALGORITHMS
- Charles Assisi

The Indian government is among the few countries waging a war on the internet against the US and China, a conflict rarely acknowledged outside informed circles globally. While some of its actions are beneficial for the country, others make no sense. At this point, no one knows how this will unfold. But this war must be waged because it is the most significant conflict of our era.

To set the stage, picture the internet as a vast library, immense in scope. Shelves bursting with books, manuscripts and scrolls that hold the collective knowledge and narratives of humanity. Visitors roam these corridors, trading insights, disputing beliefs and uncovering fresh realms among the pages. That was the vision, wasn't it? A universal library, open and inclusive.

But at some point, the library began feeling quite different. Now, the shelves seem jam-packed with propaganda and misinformation. Librarians, once eager guides, now appear intent on directing you to certain aisles, murmuring tips in a distinctly foreign accent, shaping choices. And those once-open reading rooms are now filled with jarring sounds and flickering screens, each broadcasting messages from afar, while priceless knowledge becomes harder to locate, lost under noise and glitz, eluding seekers.

Like several far-reaching decisions in Indian cricket successfully tried out first in the Indian Premier League (IPL), such as appointing Rohit Sharma captain, the emergence of Jasprit Bumrah as a world beater and Suryakumar Yadav the T20 batting marauder – the national selectors would hope Shubman Gill's ascent to Test captaincy will also come good.
