Hard to take this comment seriously in a country where about 50% have access to the internet, very likely 100% of influential people have access to the internet, and very likely 100% of people are 1 degree of separation from someone who has access to the internet.

I would interpret ashleshbiradar's point :

>Indian Population doesn't take digital world seriously,

as: Indian population do not think nor understand deeper, father enough to foresee these risks.

They don't take it seriously. Just the fact that everybody is online doesn't mean they know how to navigate the internet. Many are there for porn, or shitty memes

It’s not that different from any other country. Only a small fraction of people from any country cares about what’s actually going on in the intersection of politics and the internet.
