THE REDWOOD JOURNAL VOLUME:-1 ISSUE NO:- 1 , JULY 07, 2025 Website: www.theredwoodjournal.com Email: theredwoodjournal@gmail.com Authored by:- Shahid Istyak, Ramaiah College of Law DIGITAL PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION IN INDIA: NAVIGATING THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE Abstract: The digital era has brought unprecedented advancements in technology, but it has also raised significant concerns regarding data privacy and protection. In India, the right to privacy was recognized as a fundamental right in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) v. Union of India (2017), yet the country still lacks a comprehensive data protection framework. The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 (now evolved into the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023), aims to address these concerns but has been met with both praise and criticism. This article examines the evolution of data protection laws in India, their alignment with global standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the challenges in enforcement. Through an analysis of judicial precedents and legislative efforts, this article explores how India is shaping its digital privacy landscape and whether the existing legal framework is sufficient to safeguard personal data in the digital age.

THE REDWOOD JOURNAL VOLUME:-1 ISSUE NO:- 1 , JULY 2, 2025 Website: www.theredwoodjournal.com Email: theredwoodjournal@gmail.com Authored by:- Sneha Singh THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN MODERN WARFARE: SHAPING NARRATIVES, INFLUENCING PERCEPTIONS Abstract In the contemporary landscape of warfare, media has emerged as a pivotal force, shaping public perception, influencing political decisions, and even affecting the outcomes of conflicts. From traditional print and broadcast journalism to the instantaneous nature of social media, the dissemination of information during wartime has evolved dramatically. This article delves into the multifaceted role of media in modern warfare, exploring its capacity to inform, misinform, and transform the narratives surrounding conflicts. By examining historical precedents, such as the Vietnam War’s televised coverage, to current conflicts where real-time updates and citizen journalism prevail, we analyze how media serves both as a tool for transparency and a weapon of propaganda. The discussion extends to the ethical responsibilities of journalists, the challenges of reporting in conflict zones, and the impact of media on public opinion and policy-making. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, this article aims to provide a nuanced understanding of media’s influential role in the theater of war.
