The One Nation One Subscription is a proposed national license that would give all Indians access to paywalled scholarly journals. As a policymaker, I see its potential to democratize knowledge, which could reduce reliance on platforms like Sci-Hub. However, the logistics and cost of such a blanket subscription are immense and must be weighed against funding for our own universities' research output.
From my front room, I measure the cost of a single college fee against the dream of boundless knowledge. A nation's subscription must not become a beautifully stitched garment that our own scholars cannot afford to wear.
