Anonymous--good point but powercuts have been going on long before the recent "uptick" in high tech gadgetry. It is called inefficiency and corruption. Here are other potential gadgets that should be introduced on an Indian phone:
-button than can provide clean drinking water for poor
-help for farmers who commit suicide because they can't afford to feed their families
-one click will free you from the lifetime bondage of caste
-a button to make that garbage you just threw on the ground disappear
Point being (like Andrew pointed out) that India has advanced in many ways but the reality of day to day life for most people (still mostly rural) is corruption, living on $1 a day, dead disgusting rivers and a staggering amount of garbage on the streets.
Expat living in India (who actually loves India--just a little truth today)
