This article presents an ethnographic study of the adoption and use of Facebook among urban Indian youth from socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Mobile-centric use of the Internet is widely prevalent here as general packet radio service (GPRS)-enabled mobile phones and data plans have become increasingly affordable. Less privileged youth are the lead adopters of these new technologies, and typically the first generation of Internet users, in their communities. My research uncovers their leisure-driven engagement with new media, seen through the lens of Facebook use, and the development-friendly outcomes that result from it. By examining the direct and indirect affordances of Facebook perceived by these youth, this article highlights how they swiftly negotiate social boundaries and technological hurdles, transitioning into legitimate members of a global community.

The relationship between India and China is guided by mistrust and competition, despite their trade dependence and geographical proximity. India is more conscious of China's nuclear and missile modernization because India's forces lack strategic depth against China. China has strategic doctrine, planning and resources, while India lacks in all these. China also helped Pakistan, which is a crucial point for India to note. This article tries to find out how to deal with these gaps at the strategic, military, diplomatic and economic level.

The high reliance on nuclear weapons on computers has outstretched the susceptibilities of the cyberwar against them. While other countries are not discounting the cyber threat against its nuclear weapons, India has officially maintained the position that the present systems and technologies that it is employing, ensures safe handling of its nuclear assets against all cyber-attacks. However, there are certain loopholes in the present C2 structures, which need to be examined and addressed. The cyber threats against the nuclear C2 structures can cause a delay in India's response time, in a situation of retaliation. In such a scenario, it would be difficult to absorb the extent of the first strike of the enemy, and cyber warfare may result in a catastrophic impact on the communication systems. A cyber-attack can also be the cause of technical failures in the civil nuclear program, which may lead to uncontrolled leakage of radiation. This article explores various possibilities of cyber warfare against India's nuclear weapon systems, which can be a serious threat to its critical infrastructure.
