Concept Note
In the era of rapid technological advancement, the discourse around privacy as a fundamental human right has gained unprecedented significance. The right to privacy is increasingly under threat in the digital age. From government surveillance to data breaches by private companies, our personal information is constantly at risk. Yet, privacy remains a fundamental human right, essential for protecting our dignity, autonomy, and freedom of expression.

About the Editor
Dr. Aman Malik’s exploration into the realm of privacy wasn’t just a part of academic studies; it started as a personal mission. Seeing the widespread increase in surveillance and data collection, a strong desire to create awareness and advocate for better protections emerged within him. This drive guided him throughout his academic journey, leading to a Ph.D. thesis titled “The Effect of Technological Advancement on the Right to Privacy: A Critical Study.” His years of dedicated study under the guidance of a renowned professor honed his research skills and theoretical understanding of privacy. He has attended many conferences, seminars, and workshops on privacy. He has published and presented research papers on the concept of privacy, the constitutional validity of Aadhaar, surveillance, and data protection laws. As the editor of this book,
Dr. Aman Malik understands the importance of diversity and inclusion. He recognizes the need for a multifaceted approach to tackling the complex issues surrounding privacy in India.
