Abstract

The notion of privacy being the foundation of human dignity marks a revolutionary development in the constitutional architecture of India's digital democracy. It is a manifestation of the profound philosophic recognition that the core of one's personality lies in his or her mind, that is, his or her choice, intimacy, and data. In the present age, where data is often referred to as the "new oil" fueling progress and governance, the legal system finds itself faced with the challenge of reconciling the efficacy of the data-driven state with the sacredness of the individual. This paper gives a comprehensive overview of the philosophic, judicial, and legislative foundations that underpin the right to privacy in India. Along with that, this paper proposes a probable roadmap to alleviate the stricter implementation of the laws in the DPDP Act, in the backdrop of the protection of digital privacy of the citizens in India.
