Living Under The Digital Eye: Human Rights, Privacy, And Justice In An Era Of Global Surveillance




Mrs. Raunak Gupta & Ms. Prerna Singh


ABSTRACT


In the digital world of the globalised world, personal information is now both an asset and a liability in the digital world. As one of the largest digital societies across the globe, India faces certain challenges that are unique to finding the balance between the promotion of technology and the preservation of basic rights. This paper focuses on the impact of domestic and international surveillance practices on justice and privacy with a reference to India.


It discusses the tension between individual and state security, evaluates the recently enacted Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and reviews such seminal cases as Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017). The article justifies stronger security measures, ethical principles, and a humanistic attitude towards digital policies by putting India in the global context of surveillance and human rights.


Keywords: Constitutional Rights, Privacy, Surveillance, DPDP, Privacy.
