Would it have been possible for an Indian to own a digital camera and use email in 1988 as claimed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his recent interview to TV channel News Nation? Facts to substantiate his claims are hard to find.
“Even if digital cameras were introduced in India in 1990, anyone could have been possessing them before that in India through a family/friend gift from a foreign country. We have to remember digital gadgets were one of the favourite gifts till 2000s by any foreign friend or family,” said Faisal Kawoosa, Founder and Chief Analyst at market research firm techARC.
“All of this would be really funny if it weren’t so embarrassing. A PM who’ll literally say anything that comes to his mind can’t possibly be trusted with our national security,” Owaisi added.
