At the low price of $45, the world's cheapest computer tablet, made in India, is targeted mostly at students. In a country where laptops range from anywhere between $400 and $1,000, and where the average income is much lower, the hope is that more people, particularly the country's youth, will have greater access to technology. In the next few months over 100,000 such computers will be available in select universities. If successful, India may even sell it commercially, but experts say the design still has a long way to go. Al Jazeera's Prerna Suri reports from New Delhi, India. Less

Feb 9, 2012 - i dont care about tibetans, if they want to go to india and kiss the ass of their "god" then i dont care. but if they want to stay in China and act like a law binding citizen then they are welcomed.
forgottenmemories63 Says:
Feb 9, 2012 - Not much worse off than Tibetans I assume. Type the word "Tibet" in YouTube and check out the atrocities of Chines on Tibetans, Its really sad. At least Dalits aren't cheated off their land and kicked out like Chinese have done to poor Tibetans.
obsidianstatue Says:
Feb 9, 2012 - dont take my words for it just type in Dalit in youtube and watch any of the documentaries and and watch brutal conditions the dalits live in.
forgottenmemories63 Says:
Feb 9, 2012 - Well, I guess I can't convince deluded people that think only their view is right and try to stereotype entire nation or race for what very few people do. It's light me arguing ALL Han Chinese are Racists towards their own own Tibetans, Manchu and Taiwanese.
obsidianstatue Says:
Feb 9, 2012 - lol you are such a liar dalits are being marginalized from birth, they are landless jobless and dont have equal rights in education.
