PRIVACY IN INDIA: UNPACKING THE JURISPRUDENCE BEHIND AND IMPACT AFTER PUTTASWAMY JUDGMENT

George Orwell, a prominent English writer, and essayist, is known for his insightful views on the role of language in politics.

The landmark case of Emaar MGF v Aftab Singh was seminal concerning the arbitrability of consumer disputes. The Court noted that any measure granting special relief has precedence, meaning that some issues cannot be filed to arbitration.

French writer and philosopher Voltaire once said, “All religions must be tolerated … for every man must get to heaven his own way.” Whenever religion is talked about in society, we see either extreme devotion towards faith and God or extreme criticism of it. Mythology and religion, often interlinked but not the same, become a heated topic whenever we talk about whether they are real or not.

In a unified world where everything is getting interrelated, the principle of privacy entails much more than one would envisage because it is fast turning out to be one of the primary pillars of personal freedom and human dignity. In the case of India, which is quickly moving towards digitalisation, the protection of personal data and privacy has become the priority.

Why is virginity a taboo even today and where did it emerge from in the first place?

From Mary’s immaculate conception to Queen Maya's dream born Buddha, from Greek goddesses who guarded their virginity to women stoned for failing stained bedsheet tests on their wedding night, the fixation on female purity runs deep.

The Aryan Question is not merely a relic of academic inquiry and historical curiosity. It was eventually converted into a socio-political construct that eventually became a convenient historical narrative, used time and again to endorse the narrative favoured by its interpreter.

India’s noteworthy outreach to Croatia and Cyprus on June 18 and June 25, respectively, marked the first such visit by an Indian Prime Minister in 23 years.

However, in India, UCC has been a subject of persistent discussion as well as controversy for many years. Implementation of the Uniform Civil Code will entail...

India’s counter-terrorism strategy has transformed from reactive restraint to proactive precision. Operation Sindoor, launched after the Pahalgam attack in April 2025, combined intelligence-driven strikes, diplomatic pressure, and strategic communication to dismantle terror networks.

China controls and leverages rare earth elements as a powerful geopolitical tool. From Japan to the U.S., every nation is sounding the alarm. India, despite holding the third-largest reserves, hasn’t even boarded the outbound train of progress.

This paper examines the historical continuity between Mao Zedong's protectionist economic policies and Deng Xiaoping's approach to controlled globalisation through his Open Door Policy, arguing that modern China’s economic strategy is deeply rooted in the pursuit of economic sovereignty as a cornerstone of national security While Mao's autarkic policies emphasised self-reliance and strict state control in response to both foreign encirclement and internal instability.

India's WTO membership has been a double-edged sword. The TRIPS agreement impacted India's pharmaceutical industry, while WTO membership boosted India's exports and foreign investment inflows. India's trade policy space has also been shaped by WTO commitments. Walking away from multilateralism would be premature and counterproductive, given the benefits of predictable global trade rules and dispute settlement mechanisms. India must balance domestic concerns with international commitments.
