Socially and economically weak communities in India—the backward classes in special reference—are seen as obstacles to technology acceptance. For some, these barriers are educational, skill-building, financial inclusion, and employment. In the past, technology acceptance has been painfully unequal within the Indian context; after all, the Green Revolution, the IT boom and Digital India are some instances during which disadvantaged communities mostly remained on the fringe. Contemporary literature states that technology adoption is probably the only way for these marginalised communities; easing their digital exclusion and can bring economic mobility. The current study is qualitative in nature, reviewing more recent academic articles and policy reports. The research establishes causal factors for such divides - economy of scale, minimal digital literacy, caste-based discrimination, insufficient infrastructure, gender discrimination, bureaucratic inefficiencies and constraints imposed by technology. Such constraints hinder full access to the digital tools and services that are a prerequisite for participating in the development of the digital economy. Therefore, it is now stronger that the bridging of the gaps must be there. Investments into affordable digital infrastructure, longer localised digital literacy and engaging the private sector in skill training should become priority areas for the policymakers. The other area needing attention is that of the social and cultural prejudices that form impediments to the adoption of technology in an inclusive manner. Future kinds of research must explore solutions that address structural processes. Thus this work offers actionable insights for policymakers, scholars and practitioners aiming for an inclusive and empowered society.
