Social Implications of The MTP, 1971 Act:

Govt. of India has enacted much social legislation since independence. In practice  we discover  that these very good social legislation have remained in the books and the govt.  isn't  able to implement these laws. The anti dowry bill or the Child marriage bill or the anti sati bill are few instances. Child marriages still takes place. The MTPA  is that the  only social legislation that has found wide acceptance without any resentment. Unwanted pregnancy  may be a  social stress in all societies. Before the MTP act, unwanted pregnancy was managed by resorting to illegal abortion, infanticide or deserting the new born in lonely places. Now with the MTP act, the social fears are considerably reduced  and therefore the  urban and the rural community have taken advantage of the Act. Patterns of sexual and reproductive behaviour have changed significantly over the years.  Most vital  change is the increase in the premarital se...

CYBER STALKING

  In general, stalking entails pestering or threatening another individual. Cyberstalking is an online version of physical stalking that involves the use of information technology. Cyberstalking is the use of the internet, e-mail, and chat rooms to track down another person. Cyber stalking is when a person, a group of individuals, or an organisation is stalked or harassed via the Internet or other electronic methods. Issuing false charges or declarations of fact (as in defamation), monitoring, making threats, identity theft, data or equipment damage, soliciting minors for sex, or obtaining information that might be used to harass are all examples of harassment.

Basic concept of Cyber Terrorism and Cyber crimes

  Most people would say they know what terrorism is, but surprisingly there is no internationally agreed definition. There is literally hundreds of different definitions incurrent use with the use of violence or threat of violence being the only general common theme. The only other elements to appear in more than 50% of definitions are “Political” and “fear, terror emphasized”. This is a hamper on international cooperation as some terrorist organizations are seen as legitimate fighters by some countries. Terrorism does differ from other crimes in its mens rea ; it is done with a purpose and a specific strategic outcome in mind. If there has been significant international and intellectual disagreement about a definition for terrorism itself, the disagreement as to what, if anything, constitutes Cyber Terrorism is even more diverse. This paper will consider the battle against terrorism in Cyberspace, Cyber Terrorism as a form of attack and the terrorist use of the Internet as a tool ...

DIGITAL CONSUMERISM, PROTECTION AND PREDATORY PRICING IN INDIA

  With globalization followed the rise of digital platforms and consumer services in India. In the olden times, a consumer would not fiercely put its bet on online products but was made simpler through regulatory assurance and consumer protection in India. The rise in Digital consumerism created space for relevant markets to foster the Indian economy. As prescribed by the UNTCAD model, India adopted its competition law in the year 2002. And set up Competition Commission of India a year later which replaced the MRTP Act.

And made the consumer ready to take the digital leap in making its nation a digital economy.   Escalation While tracing this dig...
