In India, there are multitudes of inhabitants in remote villages and townships who are not having proper livelihoods which will help them to survive in today's economy. But they are searching. Through mobile telephones, people without jobs will get information on where jobs are available. Mobile revolution has unleashed migration of people to places where there is scope for employment. People are on the move—tradesmen, artists, laborers, and other workers. They are in search of work. Most leave behind their kith and kin and move to urban environments for their livelihoods. They will be sending remittances to their native home once they get jobs. Thus banking industry will grow very fast. So will increase number of mobiles; there is deep urge to keep in constant touch with their homes. Sale of television will boom as TV serials which help the people to stay in touch with their culture. It is boom time for shops which sell these modern items to the average worker-Indian at affordable prices. The average Indian would be quite content with a small TV, few amenities that he can afford. So the average Indian who migrates will settle down where he gets a job, not seeking for more and more wealth, living in perfect contentment This would be future India--simple people living-out their lives in a humble manner--migrating and working hard to earn their livelihoods. When people move to urban environment, how is government going to provide them with basic amenities? How are people going to share living spaces without creating hierarchies of 'I own this','this facility is for upper class only 'only I have rights' 'you do not have right to move in this area' etc
