My every thought is stealthily copied/sometimes borrowed/mostly stolen/almost always shamelessly misappropriated; none are my own, and hence a crutch by itself!

Please see the attached piece titled “Embedding Privacy into Digital Governance: Lessons from the Sanchar Saathi Episode.”

The article examines the recent Sanchar Saathi controversy and argues for structural reforms to strengthen privacy protections in India’s digital governance architecture. At a time when public institutions increasingly rely on digital infrastructure, the piece highlights the urgent need for privacy-by-design frameworks, independent oversight, and transparent policy-making. I believe the analysis aligns with your longstanding commitment to public-interest journalism and constructive debate on constitutional and technological issues.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Warm regards,
