Ashish’s monograph follows the career of a priori contradiction, one that only mandates a state mechanism to perform an act of delivery, and then disqualifies the state from performing that very act effectively. This contradiction which Ashish names as the Last Mile problem is a conceptual hurdle, not a physical one. Ashish argues that when put one way, the Last Mile is unbridgeable, when put another, it is being bridged all the time. The manner in which it is being bridged often forms the grey zone of state operation, and such bridging has historically occurred either through the process of bypassing or appropriation.

However, it must be remembered that data is potentially a toxic asset, if it is not collected, processed, secured and shared in the appropriate way.
