ABSTRACT
This research paper tends to discuss the evolution of India’s data protection laws. Through this research paper I have tried to trace the development of data protection laws, analyzing key milestones and shifts in regulatory frameworks. Beginning with an overview of early privacy concerns and legislative initiatives, we delve into the landmark moments that have shaped India's approach to data protection. Through this historical lens, we highlight the progression towards more comprehensive and robust privacy regulations, such as the introduction of the Personal Data Protection Bill from its nascent stages and then finally enactment of the DPDP Act, 2023 which is the byproduct of different drafts and consultations.1. By mapping this evolution, I have aimed to provide insight into the trajectory of data protection in India and its implications for individuals, businesses, and society as a whole.
