Our private self is very different, motivated by desires and passions that we strive to keep hidden lest they mar the image we have worked so hard to create. So much so that, in many instances, that private personality is so different from the public persona the rest of the world sees that it seems like a different person entirely. It is in the evolution of this split personality that our modern notion of privacy is rooted.
Root
No technology has ever been shut down because of the privacy threat that it posed to the existing social order.
It appeared that the framers of our Constitution had considered including a right to privacy in the Constitution but, for some reason that was not entirely clear from the official transcripts, had decided to leave it out of the final draft. If nothing else, this proved that the fact that the Indian Constitution does not mention privacy was not an accident but the outcome of a conscious choice.
could be sure I would be able to convince any Indian bureaucrat to agree to the need for this law if I told him Pakistan already had one.
