India recently introduced Digital Personal Data Protection Act. But, unlike what it sounds, it does more harm than good to the privacy of citizens.

Some of the most contentious issues include the wide-ranging exemptions to the government and its agencies, the dilution of powers of the data protection board, and amendment of the Right to Information Act, that rights groups say will significantly weaken the law.

I’ve heard that in such situations one can drop such docs, with address, in any postbox nearby and the postal worker will deliver them. I’ve never tried this myself & I don’t know if people actually do that, but sounded like a good idea to me.

Anyway, I understand that the underlying issue is more important and finding any immediate solution alone won’t help. It’s much more important to spread awareness about the importance of privacy.
