Abstract As a tool for addressing various forms of social-economic inequalities and marginalization, the research on digital inclusion and exclusion simultaneously received a lot of attention in developing nations. The digital divide between Indian men and women persists despite rapid advancements in internet access, particularly via mobile internet use, which has nearly doubled between 2018 and 2020. This was evident during the COVID outbreak, which revealed disparities that already existed within societies. The paper analyse the Digital inequality, in India , during the COVID 19 pandemic which in turn contributes to the (re)production of social inequalities.The paper also points out the lacuane that exist within the policies of the Indian state that making it difficult to bridge the digital gap that exist within the country and that ultimately paving the path of rich capitalist entry as big brothers to care of bridging the gap. In this scenario, the ‘digital marginalised’ in India has no option but succumb to expensive network connections.
