India has around 170 million mobile phone users and one person in every 50 has access to a personal computer.
But, the lack of enthusiasm in India to vote for the 17th-Century Taj Mahal has been striking.
Lacklustre voting over the past few months has seen the Taj Mahal get just enough votes to get at the bottom of the top 10 list.
Until a few weeks ago, there was virtually no information about the campaign.
Although some private television channels are now calling upon people to vote, most people are yet to hear about the campaign.
A special composition by ace musician AR Rahman, ‘India Unites for the Taj’, to drum up support for the monument has come a little too late in the day.
And worst of all, many say, the Indian government remains completely aloof from the campaign.
