Right to Privacy - Changing Perceptions

Overview

'Privacy' is concerned with a man's dignity and liberty. It is a fundamental human right guaranteed by international laws. It has been an inalienable and integral part of human life since long. Initially, it had a very narrower scope as such thought to be included only 'right to be let alone'. Later, the increasing maturity levels of the democratic systems, rapid strides in science and technology, made its scope more wider. Now the right to privacy covers many aspects such as, freedom of thought, control over one's body, identity, solitude in one's home, control over self information, freedom from surveillance
