Understanding Article 21 vis-a-vis its recent facet: Right to Privacy

The concept of privacy has influenced new advancements that have resulted in dynamic changes in all human beings’ living situations. Every public and private enterprise in today’s global globe has invented previously unheard-of tools for monitoring people. Surveillance is not overly intrusive, but it does force a person to act in a predictable manner. It inhibits a man or woman from having his or her own ideas or assessments; from forming his or her own selective alliances or enterprises; from speaking without thinking; from making his or her own autonomous choices, and so on. Furthermore, every man and woman in society has a smart phone camera in their hands. It has been revealed that users of mobile phone cameras are seldom sensitized to others’ privacy rights because there are no standards in place that must be observed. In recent years, an increasing number of media tools have emerged, and people have no idea how to utilize them in a certain limit.
