Digital India and Unofficial National Anthems

How do you listen? We hear from a ´óÏó´«Ã½ Hindi listener who catches up using the chat app Line on his smartphone. And listeners play us their unofficial national anthems.

As the New Year marks the beginning of a renewed drive for digital innovation at the World Service, especially in how you receive your news, we’ll be asking how technology is affecting your listening habits. This week we hear from a World Service English and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Hindi listener from Sikkim in India who’s been trying out the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Hindi service through the instant messaging service Line. He’s been receiving news stories by text, with short videos and audio delivered direct to his smartphone. Rajan Datar speaks to the mobile editor for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ World Service, Ramaa Sharma, about mobile listening in India and what new developments listeners worldwide can expect from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in 2015.
