Appropriate technology means good things for the rich and shit for the poor

Where do you find "Khadi Gramodyog Bhandar" and the  sullen sales people who used to look at me as an interruption in their  daily routine  ,not as a valuable customer.
Employees who will write  the price of the item  in  dirty red indelible pencil on a beautiful handicraft item.

"Appropriate technology"

"Indian ideological leader Mahatma Gandhi is often cited as the "father" of the appropriate technology movement. Though the concept had not been given a name, Gandhi advocated for small, local and predominantly village-based technology to help India's villages become self-reliant. He disagreed with the idea of technology that benefited a minority of people at the expense of the majority or that put people out of work to increase profit.^[2] In 1925 Gandhi founded the All-India Spinners Association and in 1935 he retired from politics to form the All-India Village Industries Association. Both organizations focused on village-based technology similar to the future appropriate technology movement.^[9]

China also implemented policies similar to appropriate technology during the reign of Mao Zedong and the following Cultural Revolution. During the Cultural Revolution, development policies based on the idea of "walking on two legs" advocated the development of both large-scale factories and small-scale village industries.^[2]"

  No one advocating "Appropriate technology" a decade or two ag owould have dreamt of cell phone  or internet spread across developing nations,Nor they would have realized the  fantastic  growth in  china and  India.

it is a pity that  some people in India still think of " be indian buy Indian" means people should  live in huts eat  PL -480 grain and die like flies
