Not true. I am an Indian living in India & I don't have any digital wallet. I do most things using netbanking payment gateways. But of course for that, you need an Indian bank account.

Less than 15% of India's remittances come from the US.
The Obama Phone program was actually started by Bush43.

Let's hope he remembered to turn back after a quarter of a mile.
Kickstarter is essentially a way to get funding without having to give away anything much to the funder.
But, a point was made, black money in cash is not safe.
Actually, even before, just around 10% of "black money" was kept in cash. Nobody hoards cash for years. People change it to gold, real estate, take it for foreign accounts etc regularly. Plus they spend it. The cash people have is mostly just whatever black money they accumulate during the year.
Indian government is making serious efforts to reduce tax evasion, and personal fraud by making cash transactions difficult. Suddenly announces denomination of large currency notes, and only people who can prove they really earned the money legally get new notes, and all the old black money notes become useless.
But 99.3% of the old notes came back into the system. So the supposed blackmoney people were able to exchange their cash for new notes. By bribing bankers, by employing people to stand in line and exchange old notes in smaller sums, by paying workers in old cash which the workers would then exchange etc, etc. So essentially it was an exercise in futility.

A smartphone is essentially 2 things
- A phone
and
- A computer
Unlocking refers to the phone part of the computer. For some strange reasons Americans buy phones only from their telecom service provider (that's like buying light bulbs only from your utility company). So the telecom provider locks the phone to their network. Unlocking allows you use the phone with other networks
Rooting is process getting admin privileges on the computer part of your smartphone
Why are these 2 terms used interchangeably in the article and the comments?
So 4 countries out of 200 don't require ID to vote?
> . So, how do you feel about requiring voters provide government issued ID in order to vote? Because requiring voters to identify themselves and verify eligibility to vote is part of securing an election.
I don't know of any country which allows you to vote without an ID.
My country does not.
