Abstract: Frugal technological activity through jugaad or frugal invention, collective and defensive technological strategies, or grassroots innovation can battle the lived experience of inequality, and perhaps even the condition of socio-economic disadvantage. The article argues that such practices are in fact technological weapons of disadvantaged socio-economic groups to mitigate lived inequality and economic adversity. They are the indicators of technological modernity.
