Draft DPDP Rules, 2025, seeds of both surveillance and freedom

A Legal Researcher -
The recently published Draft DPDP, 2025 Rules (Digital Personal Data Protection Rules) contain some safeguards like consent on data possession, while the shadow of a dystopian future looms large, especially with broad exemptions granted to government agencies for processing data related to public services and subsidies that, in turn, create concerning possibilities for expanded state surveillance under the guise of public interest.

India at the Crossroads: The delimitation exercise and its implications for democracy

A Legal Researcher -
With no census having been conducted since 2021 for no explicable reason, the follow-up constitutionally mandated exercise of delimitation will be without foundation; besides, since with each delimitation exercise, the balance of power shifts, a rigid population-based approach, without reforms in fiscal and political decentralisation, risks further centralising authority in the Union government—potentially undermining the very spirit of federalism.
