The Law Of Right To Privacy In India: Protecting Privacy In The Digital Era: Reforms And Corrective Actions

Abstract

The right to privacy in India is facing previously unheard-of difficulties because of the quick development of digital technologies. Technology, governance, and individual rights have all come together to create a complex environment that calls for a careful analysis of the current legal system. The swift development of digital technologies has presented India's right to privacy with previously unheard-of difficulties. The complex environment that has been created by the intersection of technology, governance, and individual rights calls for a careful analysis of the current legal system. This essay conducts a thorough examination of India's privacy laws, paying particular attention to the digital age. It looks at how the right to privacy has changed over time, from the Indian Constitution to the famous Puttaswamy ruling in 2017 and evaluates how well the current laws and rules protect people's privacy. 
Significant flaws and difficulties in the current framework are noted in the paper, including insufficient mechanisms for data protection, surveillance, and enforcement. A comprehensive data protection law, stricter surveillance laws, and increased individual autonomy and control over personal data are just a few of the reforms and corrective measures it suggests. 
The ultimate goal of this paper is to inform legislative and policy changes that can successfully safeguard individual privacy in the digital age, as well as to add to the continuing discussion about the right to privacy in India.
